The Family Corner Returns! You may check it out here.
CACC is proud to reinstate Family Corner! You can email or mail artwork or photos of artwork with the child’s name, age, and hometown.
Before we can use artwork, CACC needs a consent form from a parent or guardian, dated and signed, with permission for CACC to use the child’s artwork. It can be a handwritten copy of our form, or you can print out the form and mail it in to the address listed on it.
Photos of the artist may be included. The CACC Education Committee will choose an entry for publication in each newsletter. The artwork may also be published on our website.
If you wish mailed photos/artwork to be returned, please include a separate self-addressed stamped envelope large enough to hold the artwork. We urge folks to send copies electronically if possible, scanned into email, or to send copies of the originals to CACC.

When Carey Pauquette-Schalm, former CACC Administrator, originated Family Corner in December, 2006. She wrote:
"Many of us are involved in organizations such as Citizens for Alternatives to Chemical Contamination because we feel strongly about keeping our children free of unnecessary chemicals. In the back of our minds, it is in hopes of avoiding serious illness such as cancer, muscle disease, autism, and other chemically linked diseases."
I would like to challenge all of us to raise our children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews to become stewards of our environment. Get them involved in our newsletter by submitting an electronic picture drawn by them. It can be a good digital photo of their art, a drawing done on the computer, or a scanned copy. We will pick an art project each newsletter to include for all to see.
This will assist us in giving our children pride in the Earth and everything she provides. To quote my favorite saying: We do not own the earth; we borrow it from our children. Let’s work together to provide a great inheritance and give them the respect and responsibility that comes with it.”
