🌍 Local Work. Global Impact. 🌍

Over the past year, Carrie Lemos has proudly represented Unlimited Solutions Clubhouse and PCHC through her work with Clubhouse International, serving on four international committees focused on communications, data collection, standards & accreditation, and university partnerships.

This collaboration truly spans the globe—across 18 time zones. Meetings held at 7pm EST meant 1am in Denmark and 8am the next day in Hong Kong, all in service of strengthening the Clubhouse Model worldwide.
With 13 years as Clubhouse Director, 8 years as a Clubhouse International faculty member, and ongoing leadership with the Clubhouse Maine Coalition, Carrie’s work reflects the impact and respect of what happens at our Clubhouse every day.

This experience is a powerful reminder: our work matters internationally, and it’s made possible by the dedication of our members and staff. 💙

As the cold sets in, heaters, fireplaces, and generators can keep you warm—but using them incorrectly can harm your health.

🔥 Carbon Monoxide Risks
• Never use fuel-burning heaters indoors.
• Keep generators 20+ feet from your home.
• Test CO detectors—watch for symptoms like headache, dizziness, nausea, or confusion.

🔥 Heater & Fireplace Safety
• Keep space heaters 3 feet from anything flammable.
• Plug heaters directly into wall outlets.
• Clean fireplaces/chimneys and test smoke alarms to avoid smoke inhalation and fire risks.

Stay warm, stay healthy, stay safe. ❄️🏠
