Prime Minister of Norway Endorses Clubhouse!
We appreciate the tremendous support for Clubhouses from the Prime Minister of Norway, Erna Solberg, who said, "You represent a community that is good to belong to...You offer a gathering place and a social community with structure and everyday routines.

Addressing Racism and Social Injustice
Executive Director Joel D. Corcoran has released a statement addressing the ongoing issues of racism and social injustice in our society, saving: "...in response to the social virus of systemic racism, we must all now sharpen our focus, raise our voices and join the movement for change.
