meets weekly at 12:00 noon
The Great Escape in Schiller Park IL
*****On Thursday, June 7, 2018, the Rotary Club of Chicago O'Hare will be at the Makray Memorial Golf Course in Barrington IL for our Jack Frawley Memorial Chicago O'Hare Rotary Golf Outing. This is our major fundraiser for all of our scholarships. To make this as successful as it has been in the past, we are really going to need your help!! All club members are asked to help with donations of goods or services, setting up the Silent Auction and Raffle on the day of the event, and buying & selling lots of raffle tickets. Mike Plichta, Golf Outing Chair, is encouraging us to work on the Raffle and Silent Auction to make this our best outing yet!! Need ideas or want to donate? It's not too late!! Mike Plichta, mjplichta@icloud.com, Pat Ranttila patranttila@gmail.com, Mindy McGuffin mmcguffin@comcast.net
*****Rotary International is requesting that we keep track of our Rotary Volunteer Hours for 2017-2018. Cruz Bernal-Albano, our President, has requested that we keep track of our “volunteer hours”. Each week you can just jot down your information on our attendance sheet or keep track of those hours to report in a couple of weeks. Collectively we will have an amazing number!! Thanks.
In golf, as in life, it's the follow through that makes the difference.
-- Dr. Seuss
*****Our Rotary Club has donated 500 blankets, slippers, pillows with cases, First Aid Kits, pajamas and full amenity kits to the Jesse White Trunk Party. This is a traditional where supportive families and friends fill a trunk for a college-bound student with all of the essentials for a successful college experience. In this case, the larger community will show our support to 500 disadvantaged kids at the Trunk Party on (prep) Saturday, July 14th and (distribution) Sunday, July 15th. We need your help to make this happen – Saturday from 8:30 – 3:30 and Sunday 7:30 – 3:30 at the Jesse White Community Center on 412 West Chicago in downtown Chicago. Any questions? Pat Ranttila patranttila@gmail.com or 847-648-1177.

Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated;
it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect.
It is at the same time rewarding and maddening
and it is, without a doubt,
the greatest game mankind has ever invented.
--Arnold Palmer
