The Clubhouse Work Unit

The work of the clubhouse is accomplished in its work units. Members of the program select which unit they would like to participate in while at the program and each unit is led by one staff member. The Mill House currently has two main work units: the Communications Unit and the Kitchen/Maintenance Unit.

The Communications Unit:

The Communications Unit has many responsibilities at the clubhouse. This unit currently houses over 10 computers for member use, several with Internet access. Members of this unit write our bi-monthly newsletter and e-newsletter, maintain our clubhouse budget, conduct our fundraising activities, organize our social program, answer our phones, do mass mailings, and conduct daily tours for visitors to the clubhouse.

The Kitchen Unit:

Serving a nutritious lunch is an important part of every clubhouse. Members of the kitchen unit have the responsibility of planning and preparing lunch for the entire clubhouse. Members are involved in all aspects of the lunch from maintaining the budget to shopping for supplies, to the actual preparing, serving, and clean up of the meal. Lunch is currently served on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at The Mill House for a cost of $2.00.

The Maintenance Unit:

The maintenance part of this unit is responsible for the cleaning and upkeep of the house and surrounding grounds. Through the maintenance unit, members have the opportunity to relearn independent living skills.
