Our Rotary Clubmembers have partipated in placing wreaths on Veterans gravestones.  Here is the information and sign up link:        

Dear Kristine Young:

Thank you for Volunteering to place wreaths for National Wreaths Across America Day in 2023. I am the Location Coordinator for ILEGCA - Evergreen Cemetery Association, Barrington, IL, and I am writing with information about this year's ceremony. 

Wreaths Across America Day will take place on Saturday, December 14th, beginning with a brief Memorial Service at noon. We have tried to streamline the process of wreath retrieval following the Memorial Service, and your time outdoors on the cemetery grounds will likely be less than one hour if you place two wreaths.

We hope you will volunteer again this year! If you have not yet done so, please click Volunteer to volunteer again this year - registering to volunteer allows us to communicate with you with event details. 

As always, you may use this link {{RecipientReorderLink}} to Sponsor Wreaths. Or, to learn more information about our mission to Remember, Honor, and Teach, please click More Information.

Thank you very much for supporting this community patriotic event at ILEGCA - Evergreen Cemetery Association, Barrington, IL!

Lunch Meeting at Ciao Baby

Please consider making a home made Friendship Meal for the Gibson Family.

PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH

The Gibson Family of 8-10 would love to have a simple home cooked meals to help them through this difficult time.  Please go to the volunteer sign up to take a meal date. The only allergy is shrimp.  They will also have a couple of  children but a kid friendly meal is not required. I am thinking sweet treats might be a good addition for the kiddos.  All meals should be homemade, simple & delivered in a disposible or recyclable container with written instructions. We do not want the family to have to worry about getting containers back to people.  They have requested soups, lasagna, enchiladas, chili, etc.  Simple but feel free to be creative.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BRINGING SO WE DO NOT DULPICATE. There is also a comment section in the sign up that you can leave what you are making as well.  This way everyone can see. We are starting with 5 days but may add more as needed.  Meals can be dropped off at the Gibson home.  There will be a cooler at the front door.  If you do not live in LBS you must enter LBS through the front gate.  I can add you to my guest list for the day you are delivering, just let me know. If they give you any issues, have them call me, not Suzanne.

The 20 MPH speed limit in LBS is photo inforced so please watch your speed. 

A special thank you to Lisa Decatorsmith for getting this started.  

Be well my Rotarian firiends,
