MCHENRY KIWANIS CARIBBEAN COOKOUT
Two great events are coming up
this month which I wanted to bring to your attention. McHenry
Kiwanis is hosting their Caribbean Cookout on Friday January 27, 2017
commencing at 6:00 p.m. at the McHenry VFW, 3002 Illinois Route 120. The admission is $30 and includes a Caribbean
Pork Dinner, Beer and Pop. This is the
largest fundraiser that Kiwanis hosts and money raised is used to support kids
in the community in the form of high school scholarships, GiGi’s Playhouse,
Main Stay, Big Brothers Big Sisters and others.
Additional information can be found by contacting Dan Mitchell at dmitchell@thestatebankgroup.com
or visiting www.mchenrykiwanis.org.
Star 105.5 morning DJs Joe and
Tina will be present. There will be
multiple raffles for various prizes.
Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door. I recently joined McHenry Kiwanis and also
will be attending this event. I believe
community involvement is very important and personally I felt I was not doing
enough. In the short time I’ve been involved with McHenry Kiwanis I’ve enjoyed
it immensely and look forward to volunteering and meeting people at these types
of events.
PEOPLE IN NEED FORUM
Another wonderful event is the
People in Need Forum which will take place on Saturday January 28, 2017 between 8:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. at the
McHenry County College Luecht Conference Center, 8900 US Highway 14 in Crystal
Lake. The event is free and includes
numerous agencies and organizations which provide various forms of assistance
throughout McHenry County.
The following
video provides a good snapshot of the event:

You can also access a PDF on the website
which includes information about the different organizations, contact information
and services they provide. This is a
wonderful event and really highlights all McHenry County has to offer and all
the organizations which provide assistance to those in need.
