Last week State Representative Jonathan Carroll visited our club, and gave us an insight on the happenings in Springfield.  Representative Carroll was appointed in October 2017 to replace Representative Elaine Nekritz for the 57th District, covering  portions of Northbrook, Arlington Heights, Cook County Buffalo Grove, Des Plaines, Glenview, Mount Prospect, Prospect Heights and Palatine.  He maintains a full-time constituent service office at 830 S. Buffalo Grove Rd., Suite 120, Buffalo Grove.

 

Representative Carroll is a Special Education Teacher and Learning Disability Advocate; received his M.A.in Learning Disabilities from Northeastern Illinois University, B.A. in Communications from DePaul.  He is an advocate for those who have ADHD and executive functioning issues in order to help them meet personal, professional and educational goals.  He belongs to Temple Beth El in Northbrook and resides in Northbrook with wife Katrina and two children.

 

 

 

The Outreach Committee has a big event at Bowlero in Buffalo Grove for people with disabilities.  We would appreciate  as much member participation as possible for April 19th, from 6:00 to 8:00.   There is an Outreach meeting at 11:15 this Thursday for anyone who may be able to help with Food, equipment, brochures, and marketing.  Please join us, or contact Lisa if you have ideas.   ldsiwek@comcast.net
