Our Fundraising Committee is planning to have an outdoor fundraising event in September.  We hope it will be a 4-club collaboration with the Wilmette Harbor, Winnetka/Northfield and Glencoe Clubs.  We will be raising funds for Our Place, a center for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Originally planned for June, the date was shifted to a time when people will feel more comfortable to join outdoor events after most have been vaccinated.

 

While still in the planning stages, our concept is to have a jazz concert performed by local high school bands, at the Wallace Bowl in Gillson Park.  Sponsorships will be our focus at this time.  Our committee will meet after the Club meeting on Wednesday, April 21.  We welcome any and all members to join us.

Our district and many districts are involved in the Great Lakes Watershed Clean up as part of Earth day celebration.  Our district, 6440 is participating and enthusiastically supporting the event.

 

The Wilmette Harbor Rotary Club has organized a beach clean-up for Saturday, April 24 from 10am-noon and have invited us to join them. They have selected Elmwood Beach and will meet there on April 24.  Contact George Pearce  (geoknox@comcast.net) of the Harbor Club for details.

The mission of the New Trier Educational Foundation is to provide private funding for exceptional educational opportunities and special projects that are not funded – or are funded only in part – by the District 203 budget.

 

Their 20th anniversary kicks off on April 17, 2021 with a  Day of Service.  This special event embraces the New Trier High School motto "to commit minds to inquiry, hearts to compassion, and lives to the service of humanity." New Trier students have a long history of giving back to their communities, a legacy that lives in our alumni.
