Last Week's Meeting
Last week Dennis D. filled in for Rob as our Greeter and gave out Rob's famous "Not Yours" stickers.  Miriam was our Fun N Frolics questioner and quizzed us about Valentine celebrations in other countries. Anne promoted the Schaumburg-Hoffman Estates event on March 7th (see details in Coming Events in this bulletin).  Cass, the Director of Communications and Community Engagement in School District 21, and Dr. Michael Connolly, Superintendent of District 21, told us about the district's Health Center.  This partnership with Advocate Children's Hospital provides accessible, high-quality health care to both students and faculty of the district, supporting academic success and overall well-being.  The Health Center delivers preventative care, health education, and critical health services to hundreds of community members. There is a benefit golf outing to support the health center on June 17 (see details in Coming Events in this bulletin).
