The next meeting of the Noon group on Wednesday, May 8, will be at 1:00pm at Eva Dean's Bakery and Cafe, 1115 Central Street, Wilmette.  There is parking in the back (through the alley) and on the street.  We will meet in the Lad and Lassie Room.

Our Hope Walk for the Homeless  was last Saturday.  It was a good turnout, great weather, wonderful camaraderie, good exercise and healthy food.  Special thanks to Linda Gerber and the Evanston Lighthouse Rotary Club for providing the food and having so many members (15+) participate in the event. Wilmette volunteers, Kurt Zoller, Brian Bradley, John Kilner, John Flanagin, Heidi Voorhees, John and Vonnie Held, John Plante, Mariana Alfar, Martha Sheridan, George Pearce, Suki Fisher and others helped to make the event get set up and run smoothly from beginning to end.  Members from the Glenview Sunrise, Winnetka /Northfield and Evanston Rotary Clubs participated, as well as representatives from Connections for the Homeless, La Casa Norte and Interfaith Action of Evanston.

 

We were honored to have the Wilmette Village President, Senta Plunkett and the 6440 District Governor, Mary Bak attending the event.

Migrant Assistance - Many of the recent migrant children who were bused to Chicago this year will be attending Cameron Elementary (a Chicago Public School in West Humboldt Park). They are currently living in temporary housing.   They urgently need school supplies and uniforms to support their education. Your donation can make a significant difference in helping these students succeed in their new learning environment. An Amazon Wishlist has been created so you can donate these needed items.
