Picnic in the park with Rotary 
It’s
time for a picnic!! Our next meeting will be at the
shelter in Jewett
Park
for the annual
picnic. Speaker for the day will be George Balis who will tell us all
about
mosquitoes. There will also be a shelter box demonstration. The lunch
will
count as the usual lunch price for members, spouses are $10. Kids eat
free. Please
note we also will not have a meeting at Italian Kitchen June 19, as
Chuck
Frieman’s installation dinner the next day will count as the
weekly meeting. So next time we meet in the Italian Kitchen after
today will be June 26.
Jessica Cantarelli, a content specialist for Neighborhood Circle,
a part of Pioneer Press, explains what Neighborhood Circle is, and how you can
help fill it with local news. Program arranged by Arnie Grahl.

The July Fourth race is just around the corner, and the

Don’t forget this Saturday’s Three
Guys and a Truck event at the Deerfield High School track. Come help volunteer
and bring some canned good to help fill a giant truck to help stock the West Deerfield
Township Food Pantry. Our Rotary Club has been one of a number of community organizations
to climb aboard this fund-raiser as it has grown over the years. New this year
is an online silent auction that allows community members to bid on dinner with
the Deerfield/Bannockburn firefighters followed by a tour of the station, a
ride along with Deerfield police, and Cubs
tickets among others. Bidding continues up to the day of the event Thanks to
Rotarian Julie Morrison who has spearheaded this project with the three guys,
and to Rotarian Frank Lomoro and Sunset Foods which has supported the event and
will have collection boxes at two of its stores. See Julie for more details.
District
6440 is sponsoring another working trip to Ak’Tenamit and a new school being developed at
Castillo de San Felipe in Rio Dulce, both in Guatemala. The trip will be from
February 28 to March 9, 2009.
The cost is expected to be between $1,500 and $1,650. This is a
wonderful way to exchange the weather in Chicago
for 10 days in the tropics! If anyone didn't see the Guatemala pictures from this year, Barbara Struthers says she’ll be glad to bring a
disk to the meeting with the photos, so you can look at your leisure.
