Our club had a wonderful time at Applefest last weekend!! Thank you @rockwellsneighborhoodgrill for inviting us out! #applefest #rotariansatwork #volunteer

There's still time to register for tomorrow's mulching project: https://portal.clubrunner.ca/.../chicago-park-district...
See you there!

UPDATE: Our park mulching project has been moved to Telscer Playground in Lakeview! We still have space for volunteers and to hang out together afterwards. Register at www.ChicagoLakeviewRotary.org.

Last weekend we joined volunteers from across the city for #ChicagoRiverDay! This annual event helps ensure a healthy habitat for wildlife across the Chicago River system, which has seen a massive environmental turnaround over the last decade. Thank you to Alice, Lily, Tata, and Mike for keeping those rivers clean!

Common Pantry 's home delivery service reaches over 80 seniors throughout our community. We were very happy to donate three packages of paper bags to support these deliveries. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Chicago Citywide Service for providing the leftover bags following a recent clean-up event!

Cradles to Crayons Chicago is dangerously low on clothing and diapers, so we're pitching in to help out! Items of most urgent need are boys & girls t-shirts, pajamas, shorts, diapers, and underwear.
We'll be collecting items at our regular club meetings, Wednesdays at 7 at Select Cut Steakhouse (except the first Wednesday of the month). We are also working to identify other physical locations for collection.
If you'd like to do some online shopping, they have an Amazon wish list that will ship directly to their location: https://www.amazon.com/.../ls/2DFBZ0MI523T0/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex
If you can't make your meetings, feel free to donate items at their drop-off locations: https://www.cradlestocrayons.org/.../find-local-drop-off/

We were happy to join our friends at the Rotary Chicago Near South to serve Thanksgiving lunches to the community this weekend!

Our club held an "Adopt-a-Beach" event along the North Shore Channel today, collecting 50 pounds of trash in just three hours!
While not a traditional "beach", most of the trash collected today would have ended up in our local waterways during heavy rain events. Chicago is very reliant on our rivers and lake, so we need to work hard to keep them clean.
Thank you to Tata for organizing this project in collaboration with the Alliance for the Great Lakes!

Our members were so busy volunteering at Burger Fest, we had trouble getting a group picture of everyone! It was great to be back supporting Lakeview Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce at this fun neighborhood event. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi!

Our members were proud to support Common Pantry earlier this month, supporting the distribution of food to 25 families! We're always happy to work with this amazing organization, aimed at combatting hunger and food insecurity in our community
