The first thing that comes up when I type CIF Chicago into google is the Chicago Improv Festival. I don't actually think the charity event my job sponsored was about that, or else I would have been much more excited. No, our had something to do with disabled or mentally ill-equipped folks.
After a little bit of research, I find it is the Center for Independent Futures. I am correct in my hypothesis:
"Join Center for Independent Futures at Cold Stone Creamery on Monday, August 3rd from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. for a delicious ice cream treat! All are welcome to stop by the Evanston store at 1611 Sherman Avenue to enjoy a Cold Stone cone, cake, or drink. At the end of the evening, 10% of the proceeds will be donated to CIF in support of our mission to create new solutions for inviduals with disabilities and their families.
No special coupons are required—just you and your sweet tooth!
So spread the word, invite friends and begin dreaming of a delicious dessert at Cold Stone Creamery!"
We were all rather surprised this charity event was happening. I had wondered why 5 of us were working that night, 3 of us being shift leaders. It's not that I'm not happy to be involved, I just wish our boss told us... anything.
I'm big into knowing what's going on. I asked my boyfriend, on our very first date, whether it was a date or not. Then, I asked him if it would be alright if I kissed him. It's not that I don't like surprises, I just want to know what's going on in my life slightly more than other people know what's going on in my life.
We made $107 for them, by the way.
