We need a volunteer. President Dave has suggested that we have RILEE (Rotary's iron lung) at Shermerfest on September 21st. Last time we had it -it drew so much attention. People shared their Polio stories before we even opened that morning.
In order to do this, we will need to have someone or two to - provide a truck with a hitch attached and a driver who knows how to operate a vehicle that has a trailer (RILEE) attached. That person will need to do the following road trip:
- September 20th: pick up RILEE in Richmond, Illinois about an hour drive from Buffalo Grove, where "Country Thunder" is this week....
- Bring RILEE to a storage area that evening that has not been determined as of now,
- September 21st pick up RILEE in the morning of bring it to Shermerfest at Village Green Park,
- Return it to the storage area that evening after Shermerfest, and the next day return RILEE to Richmond.
- If any of you can do this, have friends or family who can help please let me know ASAP (no later than July 25th).
- Carlos has done it previously - he may be able to share the adventure requirements with you!
- Time is of the essence!
