Plenty in the Works!!

Okay, our deliveries have been made to the various schools and many thousands of children have some brand new supplies to get them off to a great start in the school year.  So the job's done, right?   In terms of getting the supplies to where they are needed, yes, but, we have an exciting array of events, fundraisers and various initiatives right around the corner.

So, here are some of our plans going forward.  We would love to have you participate in as many of them as possible.  Should be fun!

Sept. 16:  The Hinsdale Central High School Boys Varsity Soccer Team is conducting its Fifth Annual KICK event (Kick it in for Chicago Kids).  This is a tremendous soccer-tennis team event.  For details on entering or to see what you can do to be a part of it just give me a holler.

Friday, October 19:  Our Fifth Annual Habitat for Humanity/Schools Count Corp Chili Dinner from 4:30 pm to 7:00 just prior to the start of the HC - York home football game.

Oct. 22-Nov.9:   Our Second Annual Winter Coat Drive to assist Chicago area students.  New and used coats (but clean and in great condition) are needed along with mittens and gloves.  Our goal is to collect 1,000 coats.  Delivery will be the week before Thanksgiving, making the holiday a warm and thankful time!
Contact Dick Flesher at 630-863-6035 or email me at rich219@comcast.net to take part.

Feb./March 2013:  We will hold our Donor/Volunteer Dinner at a time to be arranged in the next few weeks.  The event will be held at Hinsdale Central High School from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.  It's a free dinner and a chance to hear a special guest.  It's also a wonderful time to share in the accomplishments of so many like-minded and caring people.

March 2013:  Our annual bowling event will take place on either the second or third Friday of the month.  This is a wonderful time to have some fun and raise some money for the coming year.  We'll hit the lanes from 3:30 pm to 6:00 at Willowbrook Bowl on Plainfield Rd. in Willowbrook, IL.  More details to follow.

These are but a few events that will take place in the coming months.  Many more are sure to be added.  We look forward to working together to help children who really want to learn.

Thanks,
Dick
