March 19, 2024. In what has become an annual tradition, Arlington Heights Rotarians donated Easter baskets to W.I.N.G.S. Kari Koebernick played the role of the Easter Bunny- collecting and delivering everything. It's a good thing she has a big car! It looks like all available space was taken up by baskets.
February 24, 2024 Armed with informative flyers listing essential items in high demand at the Wheeling Township food pantry, twelve Arlington Heights Rotarians and spousses urged shoppers at the Vail Street Jewel to consider purchasing one or two items from the list. The response was truly heartwarming. In just four hours, the generosity of shoppers led to the complete filling of a large SUV with crucial donations. To see more pictures, click on the photo above.
February 8, 2024 Visitors at the Guest House were treated to a special Chinese themed dinner this quarter courtesy of Chef Frankiewicz and his helpers. Based on the smiles of the guests, it looks like it was well received.
February 2, 2024 Our newest club member, Brian Ahern, recently took part in a service mission trip to Bangladesh with Rotaplast International. Rotaplast International helps children and families worldwide by eliminating the burden of cleft lip and/or palate, burn scarring, and other deformities. Working with local professionals, Rotarians, and other organizations, they send multidisciplinary medical teams to provide free reconstructive surgery, ancillary treatment, and training for the comprehensive care of these children. Brian was part of a 20 member team who came together from the US, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and Egypt. They worked at the Sylhet Women's Medical College Hospital and provided life changing surgeries for over 80 children. Pictured above, Brian is exchanging our club flag with the president of the Rotary Club of Jalalabad, and then presenting their flag to Dave Weiner. Pictured below is a photo of the celebration ceremony held at the end of the week.

January 25, 2024 RCAH member, Dr. Maggie Albert conducted vision exams for low-income children at Sanborn School in Palatine with the assistance of fellow Rotary members.
