As usual, we'll pre-order individual meals from the restaurant menu. A copy of the menu and link to their website are below. Please let me know what you would like for dinner by end of day Sunday, July 13th. Please, please, please . . . include the choice of a side if your selection comes with one and dressing if you select a side salad.
Paying for the meal is different for our evening meetings at Acorn Grill.
Reminder that the staff at Acorn Grill will prepare individual checks to be paid after dinner at the register.
If you are planning to bring a guest that you will be paying for, please let me know that and their dinner order so I can make notes accordingly.
Drinks can be ordered from the bar and added to your individual checks as well.
All are welcome and encouraged to join. Please let me know of any questions.
Bev sent out a link to Sign-Up Genius which describes the volunteer opportunities you may want to participate in for the Northbrook Rotary Rubber Ducky Race.
In addition to the various jobs on the day of the race, it also sets out the venues, dates and times in July, August, and September for selling Rubber Ducky Tickets.
As you know 100% of what we raise goes back to the community and international projects. The shifts for selling tickets are only 1.5 hours, so hopefully every physically able Rotarian will volunteer for at least one shift. There are two sign-up slots for each shift, so that if you wish, you can team up with someone else (Rotarian or non-Rotarian.) Teaming up makes the shifts more enjoyable.
These venues are an excellent opportunity to promote Rotary membership to those ticket purchasers that show interest in what we do.
We will need to bring our own folding table and two chairs. (Please let Gary and Denis know if you need help with this. We have them available. )
Right now the movie Superman is breaking the box office numbers! Everyone loves a superhero! But we know superheroes are everyday people – Rotarians – among them!
Our blood drive is coming up and we need help! YOU can be a superhero by volunteering to help at the drive or donating yourself.
In fact, Rotarian/Superhero Denis Polina shared his blood drive experience last year, “When I arrived, I was advised that there is a critical need for red blood cells. Because of this, I donated red blood cells instead of whole blood. It took a little longer. However, I was told by the technician that drew my blood that the red blood cells that I donated would be used the same night as I donated the cells and that they would go to saving six lives.”
The impact of giving blood is critical. Every day in the U.S. patients in hospitals, surgical centers and emergency treatment facilities need approximately 30,000 units of red blood cells; 6,000 units of platelets; 6,000 units of plasma.
Won’t you help? Our Blood Drive is Saturday, 07/26/25 from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM at the Northbrook Public Library. Reach out to Gary if you can help!
