On the Horizon

As the holidays are at hand, plenty of planning is already taking place to help school children in 2011. Helping in excess of 30 to 35 schools is a daunting task in many respects, not the least of which is organizing fundraisers. So here's what's on tap at this point in time. Mark your calendars now!

January or February: Team up with Global Hope to paint portions of Tanner Elementary School in Chicago. We will sell authentic Haitian paintings just brought back from the island. More details will follow about the auction that will be used to raise funds for the IMN School in Darbonne

Tuesday, February, 22nd: Fourth Annual Hinsdale Central H.S. Mardi Gras Concert at 6:30 pm in the HC student cafeteria.

March: Annual SCC Donation Drive

March or April: Likely (still in the works) HC Bowling event to be held at Willowbrook Lanes.

Saturday, May 7th: Hinsdale Central H.S. Girls Soccer carwash held in the senior parking lot. The times will be published in early 2011.

May 20th - June 10th: 'Go Green' Collection of school supplies at various area schools.

Early August: Loading supplies onto trucks bound for New Orleans and Chicago Public Schools.

As the coming weeks unfold other events are likely to be added to the calendar. If all goes well we might even hold a 5K race, 3K walk during the late spring or early summer. To participate in these events or to volunteer as a worker simply contact me at rich219@comcast.net.

I'm sure we'll have plenty of fun along the way in addition to helping those who have a need for our services!

Thanks,
Dick
