Last Weeks Meeting
Last week our speakers were Irene Dorfman and Jesse Rojo who presented information about NAMI, National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization.  NAMI is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with mental illness and their families through support, education and advocacy.  Irene is a board member of the Northwest Suburbs Chicago chapter and she urged our club members to learn more about volunteer opportunities to support their mission.

Our Joint Environmental Project with the Arlington Heights Club
On Saturday, Juliet, Sita, Martha, Jerry, Mike, and Deenie joined six Arlington Heights club members for our environmental project at Mill Creek Park and planted 21 native shrubs and sowed two acres of prairie seed mixes to stabilize the stream banks in the park.  We then shared fellowship at Continental Restaurant for lunch.  Martha's husband Jeff led the group.  Both clubs donated funds for the joint project.  Thanks to all who volunteered!
Our Rotary Club was Represented at the Green Fair
On Sunday, Jason, Juliet, Deenie, Joan, Glenn and Martha volunteered at our booth during the Buffalo Grove Environmental Action Team's Green Fair.  The event was rescheduled from the previous Sunday because of the weather, and attendance was still good.  The fair had informational booths on environmental topics and collected many items, such as shoes, clothing, CDs, hangers, books, etc. to be reused and recycled.  Thanks to the those who volunteered!
