Reduce Visual Blight - Teasel
Our Club is continuing its efforts to eliminate invasive plants in our area. Teasel is the tall (3 to 8 foot) "thistle" with white or purple blooms that shoots up along roadsides and vacant lots. Teasel reproduces without opposition, tending to crowd out desired plants and creating "visual blight".
 
The result of unhindered teasel may be observed along side Route 53 as you exit on the way to Lake-Cook Road.

Canoeing the length of the Mississippi River for Shelterbox
Erik Elsea fulfilled a childhood dream when he paddled his canoe the length of the Mississippi River, from its (alleged) headwaters in Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way, he spoke at and was supported by many Rotary Clubs as he spread the word about Shelterbox. Like Ross, he is one of the top fundraising ambassadors for the Shelterbox.  You can watch his presentation here:
 
Program for July 21
We'll be ZOOMin' again on Tuesday with the link previously published.
 
The program will be a rerun of last year's bizarre presentation at Joanie's when the laptop would NOT project the slides, and the presenter (me) had egg on his face. I've wiped it off and can guarantee interesting photos and tidbits about the history of Kildeer, especially along Long Grove Road. Some extra, Ela Township, items will be included.
 
I have invited a number of Kildeer folks, some ex-members and friends. You may also invite folks by forwarding the email with the link that Lyle or Greg sent.
