On Saturday, June 6th, about 21 of our members and other volunteers were able to partner with the Northern Illinois Food Bank to deliver food to nearly 100 local individuals. This was all made possible due to the generosity of anonymous donor who funded the Mobile Food Pantry at Mike Rylko Park.  Thank you to all who participated.

 

Then several members joined Rotarians from District 6440 to attend a ribbon cutting at Blue Star Recyclers located here in Buffalo Grove.  This organization ethically recycles electronics and computers by employing autistic workers, and others with disabilities, who typically can’t get gainful employment elsewhere.  Several Rotary clubs, including ours, have made donations to this organization and many clubs have sponsored local recycling events with Blue Star.

You can wear apparel that proudly says you are a member of the Rotary Club of Buffalo Grove by ordering at this site .  The store contains shirts, jackets and sweaters with our club's name and will be open for individual sales until June 30th.  You will not be charged a delivery fee, since Martha will pick up all of the items and get them to you.   If you have questions, please contact Martha at weiss.martha@gmail.com

Here are some of the items you will find at the store: bgrotary.itemorder.com

 

We had another successful golf outing with Special Leisure Services Foundation last week.  Due to the rain at the beginning of the outing, the traditional golf ball drop with the cooperation of the fire department was not held.  Instead the participants threw the balls and three experts (Bo, Carmen and Kathy) determined the winners.  The weather cleared and it was another beautiful day (thanks Lisa).  Thanks to the golf committee and to the staff at SLSF who did a great job organizing.
