Samples are here!

There are samples of the plants we are selling. The samples are in the lunchrooms of the main offices in St. Charles and Virgil. The big pots are the pots you get for free if you order $20 or more. Matt F. said that the Tulips don't look that great right now because they were not kept cold enough but he promised me that the actual ones that are being sold will look fantastic.

All proceeds will go towards Hesed House and Hope Haven.

Again, thank you for supporting your charity committee!

Starting early!

This year, the holiday charity committee is taking a new approach at raising money for our charities. Instead of doing a big push at the end of the year, we will be raising money all year around. We also hope to raise more money by doing this. Again this year, we will be raising money for Hesed House in Aurora and Hope Haven in DeKalb.

Our first fund raiser, which will go on all year, is a snack sale. Snacks are available for purchase in the main office lunchrooms in St. Charles and Virgil. The sale began on February 9 and between then and today (March 16), we have raised $129.00.
