Last Week's Meeting
Last week Suzanne Ploger, the Director of Development for JOURNEYS | The Road Home which is a non-profit agency that provides both shelter and social services to the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless in 37 towns in north/northwest suburban Cook County, attended our meeting.  The mission of JOURNEYS is to individually assess and serve its clients, while broadening community awareness and involvement. The Community Grant committee chair, Deenie, presented Suzanne with a check from our club to support their worthy cause.  Suzanne is a member of the Palatine Club and invited us to their Oktobervest September 16-18 in downtown Palatine.
It was also Roger's birthday and he chose a solo from Adriane - nicely done, Adriane.  See the big smile on Roger's face.

Alek, our inbound exchange student, arrives August 16
Our next exchange student, Alek from Poland, will arrive on August 16 and will stay with our Youth Exchange Counselor, Denny Snyder, for a couple of days until Alek's host family return from their trip overseas.  Anyone interested in greeting him at the airport that afternoon at 2:30 or so (after he gets through customs), please talk to Martha or Denny.    He is 16 years old and lives in Warsaw with his mother who is an attorney and a widow.  Alek is fluent in English and likes history, Spanish, English and politics.  He swims regularly and takes climbing lessons and in the winter ice skates and skis.  He said he does not have precise plans for the future, but is considering becoming a lawyer.
 
Alek will be attending his first meeting with our club on August 18, so let's welcome him!
