Imagine my surprise when I open a Hinsdale Central H. S. envelope to find a check made out to Schools Count Corp. for $1,400! It took a little bit to find out the origin of the check and to fathom the importance of it relative to our work.
$1,400 goes a long way towards providing an elementary of 375 students with most of the basic supplies they will need for the better part of the 2011 school year. Combined with some 'Go Green' supplies, the $1400 will buy many new folders, binders, pencils, pens, colored markers and notebooks for deserving children.
I want to thank the Hinsdale Central advisors, Dan Otahal and Kelly Holton, for having Schools Count Corp as a beneficiary of the October Chili Dinner fundraiser. I am also grateful to the many club members for working at the dinner and for selling tickets in order to raise funds. To one and all, please accept my thanks!
