Exciting News

There's some terrific news on two fronts!

First, Hinsdale Central's Students Assisting Students Club conducted a 'Caroling for Coats and Cans' over the holiday break.  The result...the students collected 98 articles of clothing (mostly coats) and 131 canned goods.  We'll help the students put these in the hands of those most in need.

I also want to alert you to a wonderful event taking place this weekend.  The Darien based Kids4Good is hosting the 'ArtWorks4Good' (part of thie long standing commitment to Haiti in their Hope4Haiti initiative) viewing of scenes of Haiti and IMN School in Haiti.  This organization was providing aid to the school well before the 2010 earthquake and its efforts continue to this day.  On the cusp of the third anniversary of the quake a visual arts exhibit will be open to the public at the Haitian American Museum of Chicago.  The museum is located at 740 East 56th Place, Chicago, IL.  The opening of the exhibit is this Saturday, Janurary 12th from 4:00 to 8:00 pm.  I think you'll find the exhibit to be inspiring and a reminder of the good done by so many in the face of trying circumstances and conditions.

The above are two wonderful examples of people stepping forward to make a concrete difference in the lives of others!!

Thank you,
Dick
