Clubhouse International and friends from the Clubhouse network all around the world mourn the loss of our long-time Board Member, Frederick Furman Carpenter, 72, who passed October 21, 2023. Fred served for decades as a board chair, board member and fundraising co-chair for Gateway House, an Accredited Clubhouse Program located in Greenville SC. He also served as a board member for Clubhouse International for 14 years.
Clubhouse International is heartbroken and outraged by the recent terrorist attacks in Israel. We are saddened by the loss of life and subsequent war.
