Chili Open PostponedThe Rotary Club of Carol Stream has made the difficult decision to postpone indefinitely the Chili Open Golf Outing that was scheduled for May 15, 2020. And we need your help. In these difficult and uncertain times, we realize that many of our sponsors and golfers will not be able to support us as they have in the past. Once the current crisis has passed, if it has indeed passed by May 15, rebuilding our businesses and personal lives will be a top priority. Those who have already sent in a payment will have the funds returned. We need your help!! Without this major fundraiser, the Rotary Club will be unable to contribute to the many causes we have supported including food pantries, scholarships, disaster relief, Pads, Midwest Shelter for Homeless Vets, and countless other charitable organizations. Please consider donating to the club what you would have spent on the course that day so we can continue our work in the community. Your contribution will help us continue our long tradition of helping those in our community who are less fortunate. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on the course next year. |
Food Drive PostponedThe community-wide food drive scheduled for April 18 has been postponed. The Club is acting in response to the call to limit social gatherings and promote social distancing, limiting the spread of COVID-19. In these desperate times, our local food pantries are in great need of donations and funds. The Rotary Club will be collecting donations to distribute to the food pantries. You can DONATE HERE. Funds received will be matched by the Rotary Club and distributed equally to the six pantries. If you have been collecting items for the food drive, please deliver them to one of the local food pantries listed at the end of this article. Please call for hours before going to the pantry. Thank you for your assistance and we look forward to you joining us for our community-wide food drive next year.
