Thank you to everyone who attended our open house on Saturday, September 17th.  It was wonderful to see old friends and new!  There is much to celebrate as Creative Living expands our programs to include new initiatives for teenagers.  In celebration of our 25th Anniversary, Creative Living recently appeared on the front page of the Andover Townsman, to read that article please click here.

We are developing an After-School program in conjunction with Andover High for students with developmental disabilities. AHS will provide a three day program at the school and Creative Living will provide two days a week at 368 S. Main Street in a home environment. A minimum of five students are needed to make this Creative Living program a reality. Contact us for more information.

Creative Living is a private, non-proft organization, that provides programs and support to enhance the lives of the developmentally disabled and their families.  Money raised from the raffle will support our GetAway Respite Weekends, the Creative Living Independence Project (CLIP), and our outreach efforts to schools and surrounding communities.  Creative Living is a private, non-profit organization and we receive no state funding.  We rely on the generosity of friends like you to continue our programs and services.

Here is a description of the event:

1. A maximum of 300 tickets will be sold at $100 each.  Ownership of a ticket may be split between two or more people as long as their names and addresses appear on the ticket.

2. 300 numbered balls will be placed into a spinning cage and removed one at a time.  Under the rules, the possibility exists for ticket holders to split the $10,000 among the last 5-4-3-2 numbered balls pulled, or the whole $10,000 prize can go to the holder of the number on the last ball pulled!

Come be a part of this fun and exciting event, while supporting a great cause!  Please consider purchasing one or more tickets.  Tickets can be purchased by contacing the Creative Living office at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
