The Rotary Club of Chicago -O'Hare
meets weekly at 12:00 noon
The Great Escape in Schiller Park IL
On Thursday, June 22, 2017, the Rotary Club of Chicago O'Hare will welcome Christopher Miller, Senior Outreach Coordinator, with the Road Home Program at Rush Medical Center. He will give our Rotary Club an overview of what this program does for veterans and families here in Illinois and elsewhere. We look forward to seeing you at this Rotary meeting on Thursday at 12:00 noon at The Great Escape.
Our Club was well represented among the 45.000 participants at the 2017 International Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, this past week. Members Fred Otto, Sylvia Jewgieniew, Pat and Jack Ranttila attended. This was an amazing opportunity to meet Rotarians from all over the world. We attended plenary sessions with world leaders and International issues, a wide variety of break-out sessions, planned events with the Convention and with Atlanta Rotary Clubs, and enjoyed museums and the sights of Atlanta. Plan to attend the 2018 Convention in Toronto, Canada, next year! You will be amazed with the global perspective of Rotary.
One of the greatest gifts you can give is your time.
Rotary International is requesting that we keep track of our Rotary Volunteer Hours for 2017-2018. Cruz Bernal-Albano, our President Elect, 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.
