President Pelz moved on to the urgency of gathering sponsors for the upcoming BB&B, Friday-Sunday, August 2-4th. She said, "We only have 99 days to prepare for this event and we need to get everyone involved in securing sponsors." The 5K Run scheduled for Saturday, August 3rd, is well organized and she lauded those who had worked to set up this event. Terry Hargrove reported on the Scholarship work and pressed the need for interviewers for Thursday, May 2nd, 6-9:30 PM at McHenry High East Campus. Karen Lavin said that 11 people attended the April 12th Fish Fry at Kim and Patty's Cafe and another one would be scheduled in the next few weeks.
The Happy Dollars happened so fast, your substitute editor couldn't keep up (don't know how Don does it), but did register the generous $10 gift from Jim Vyduna who announced he's 100% cancer free at the last test. Bill Mclemore and Bob Martens both offered Fun and Frolic--a few questions about comedians and Bob's Chicago Radio Station call letters. Ron Bykowski was able to answer both quickly and won the prize--a signed cartoon book by Bill McLemore.
The program was presented by Tom Bitterman, Vice-President of "Neighbors Helping Neighbors." He noted how helping a neighbor with a fallen tree in 2007, led to the formation of a service organization, “Neighbors Helping Neighbors,” which is a county-wide all-volunteer group that responds to all sorts of neighborhood needs—from yard work for elderly to owner-occupied housing rehab. For more information or assistance needs, the telephone number of NHN is 815-341-1047.
