There is no regular meeting this week at Continental, but if you want to meet for an informal picnic, please bring your lunch and meet at the shelter at Green Lake Park, 1101 Green Knolls Drive in Buffalo Grove at 12:15.
If you also want to continue the fun, please email Martha at weiss.martha@gmail.com if you want to join some members at the Par 3, nine-hole course at Nickol Knoll Golf Course, 3800 N Kennicott Ave, Arlington Heights, IL 60004 for tee times at 1:30 and 1:40. We can add another if we have enough golfers.
Our recent golf fundraiser outing was very successful and everyone enjoyed the company, the golf and the amazing weather. Thanks so much to the members of the golf committee and of course to the staff at SLSF who did an outstanding job. Photos courtesy of Rich Klein.
It’s an adult day out! Enjoy an afternoon at Willow Stream Park drinking, eating, dancing and raising money for a good cause. Join us for a beer and wine tasting event, paired with snacks from local businesses. Each adult must register for either a beer flight, wine flight, or a nonalcoholic flight. With the beer and wine flights, each adult will receive 4 beer or wine paired tastings. Those who register for the nonalcoholic flight will receive tickets for 2 sodas and 2 waters. Bring your own chairs, and make it an afternoon affair. Sit back and relax to some great music by our live band, Taproom All Stars. Additional alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at the event.
In June we had a very dynamic speaker from TOTS Therapeutic Child Care Center, Agnieszka Moroni, who is getting her daycare center for kids with special needs off the ground. They are having a "5 K For All" race on September 11th and will need lots of volunteers, so if you can help out, please go to https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/10c0e4bada62da6ffc61-volunteers
Your help will be greatly appreciated by them!
