The Rotary Club of Chicago -O'Hare
meets weekly at 12:00 noon
The Great Escape in Schiller Park IL
On Thursday, June 8, 2017, the Rotary Club of Chicago O'Hare will enjoy a lunch together. As it turns out, our speaker has needed to change her speaking date. Please come to get back to Rotary's basics – networking!! See you on Thursday at 12:00 noon!
Another great Rotary Club of Chicago O'Hare Foundation Golf Outing took place last Thursday at the Makray Memorial Golf Club in Barrington. All proceeds will support our scholarship program for Leyden High Schools and the O'Hare community. A very special “thank you” to Mike Plichta, chairman of the event, and Mindy McGuffin, chairman of the raffle and silent auction – neither of which could attend because of conflicting work demands, but their work made this outing a success. We appreciate the extra efforts of John Sisco, Bobby Jensen, Jack Ranttila, Larisa Suceska, Iwona Niedzielak, and Mike Sullivan to carry out many varied tasks that produced the event all participants could enjoy. We thank all members that attended, donated items for the silent auction/raffle and worked selling or setting up last Thursday. It was a success, because of you!!

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.
