A Message From Our Service Project Chair, Jennifer Sultz:
 
Good morning, friends!
 
A few upcoming events and service projects to share with you as we approach October....

World Polio Day Events: 10/24
  • At Rotary Headquarters:
    Our club is one of eleven clubs gathering Saturday morning 10/24 at One Rotary Center, 1560 Sherman Ave in Evanston, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.  This is the headlining event of our district. Participating clubs include Skokie Valley, the 3 Evanston Clubs, 2 Glenview Clubs, Wilmette, Park Ridge, Winnetka-Northfield, Northbrook, and Deerfield.  Welcoming remarks and speakers at 9:30, kick-off of the short neighborhood walk at 10:00.

  • At Sketchbook:
    From 1:00 - 4:00 that same afternoon, an event to raise funds for Polio Plus will take place at the Skokie Sketchbook. In partnership with the Evanston Nouveau Club, Sketchbook is releasing a limited-edition beer "Purple Pinkie" with a portion of proceeds going towards Rotary's efforts to end Polio. 4901 Main Street in Skokie. No registration necessary - just stop by and try a Purple Pinkie or take home a 4-pack!
