The new member/ World Polio Day/ Cooking Class event on Wednesday night at Dave’s Specialty Foods was a big success. Kudos to Jason Ivy and the membership committee for organizing such a great event. 
- Thanks to Kerry Pearson, Bob Paddock, Dave Weiner, Kris Niemann and Ron Crawford who volunteered to man the Club’s Trunk or Treat Booth on Friday night. They each received a bottle of wine (left over from the new member event) for stepping up.
- Volunteer Registration for the Santa Run is up and running on Clubrunner. This is an “all hands on deck” event for the club.
- Thanks to Mary Kendall and the members of the Rolling Meadows Interact Club who volunteered to dress in Santa gear and walk through town delivering Santa Run posters and postcards.
- We are still collecting travel size toiletries. There is a bin where they are collected by the greeter’s table.

Bob Heller bade farewell to everyone before heading off to warmer weather. Luis Ramirez-Alonzo launched his PR consulting firm on Monday. Mary Jablonsky shared that 23 members have qualified for EREY (Every Rotarian Every Year) and 34 have made contributions toward this goal.
