The Rotary Club of Chicago -O'Hare
meets weekly at 12:00 noon
The Great Escape in Schiller Park IL
On Thursday, August 3, 2017, the Rotary Club of Chicago O'Hare will welcome Jackie Jackson, Barb LaSpesa's daughter, speaking about the Promotional Products Industry. Promotional products, a $22.9 billion industry, are thriving because items with logos like hats, T-shirts and bags are traveling advertisements that leave a lasting impression making them crucial for building brand awareness. The industry is made up of suppliers who create, source and imprint products, and distributors who then creatively market and sell the imprinted products to their clients who use them to promote their business. The Club Foundation Board will meet at 11:00 AM. We look forward to enjoying a great speaker and lunch with you on Thursday, August 3rd at noon at The Great Escape.
Important Club and Foundation Board information:
-

Rotary International is requesting that we keep track of our Rotary Volunteer Hours for 2017-2018. Cruz Bernal-Albano, our President, has designed a new roster that we are going to implement starting Thursday that will include “volunteer hours”. Each week you can just jot down your information – including attending our meeting for 2 hours (travel, lunch, speaker) I would guess that collectively we will have an amazing number!! Thanks.
