This week Ronnis Oher will talk to us about LifeMaps.

 

We had a great weekend, thanks to all the members of our club who really stepped forward to give their time and efforts.  Special thanks to President Jason, the Bingo Chair, Hetal, the Parade Chair, Captain Quack and Dane for their duck race efforts and all the other members who really showed up to help out.  

We recently had two club members on the front page of the Daily Herald!  Tara was wearing a cool Rotary shirt while discussing how communities are forming mental health boards to help with funding of local agencies and Deenie was on the cover of the newspaper for her joy in making bubbles during the BG Days parade!

Soon-to-be President Jason has announced that he will be holding the Board Meetings on the 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 7 pm via Zoom. 

Our club committee of Martha, Juliet and Cass are meeting with members of the Arlington Heights Club (the lead club), and the Palatine and River Cities Clubs to plan our walk on October 24, 2026 at 10 am when Rotarians from Zones 25b & 29 will be participating in the World's Largest Polio Walk.  District 6440 is encouraging us to be a part of this event with 22 other districts across 13 states and two countries.  This will be a fun comunity walk at Lake Arlington to raise awareness of Rotary's End Polio Now campaign and to fundraise for it.

Stephen and Dan are excited to announce the dates for the next Ak’ Tenamit project:  The trip will be Saturday, February 20 through Tuesday, March 2, 2027.  

Buffalo Grove Rotarians (and family members) will have priority until May 31, 2026.  After that, space will be filled on a first-come first-served basis.  

BG Rotarians making their first trip to Ak’ Tenamit are eligible for a club subsidy of up to $1500.  Please contact Stephen or Dan to reserve your spot!

 

Thank you to those club members who continue to contribute to the Buffalo Grove High School Comfort Closet. This is a discreet service at the high school to assist those students who do not experience the privilege of all they need for personal hygiene and
care at home due to circumstances. Please keep us in mind for your donations of these new, unused items you may have at home. Such items are: toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, lotion, feminine products, deodorant, etc. Also, your cash donations to Deenie on their behalf are so appreciated and make a difference in their life. Items are purchased at GiveNKind for pennies on the dollar. Here is a photo of their pick up from Deenie’s home last week.  Please bring donations to our Rotary meetings and Deenie will collect them.
