Stories
Speaker on October 6: David Abell

Advocating for Hearing Assistive Technology (HAT) - How I found my passion in retirement

Dave Abell, a member of the Club for 38 years from 1972-2010 and a Past President, retired to Rhode Island in 2009.  Dave has developed a passion for hearing assistive technology (HAT) and will be telling us about his experience. He expects to have some guests who can tell us about their experiences with hearing loops on the North Shore.  He planted the seeds for hearing loops in Village Hall and the Community House last time he visited, and now he wants to water and fertilize the seeds.

Meeting Recaps:  9/22 & 9/29
Last Thursday the Club gathered for a hands-on service project at the Glencoe Community Garden.  We harvested veggies for delivery to local food pantries. Later, we met for a cocktail social hour hosted by Patti at the Winnetka Historical Society.
 
On September 22 Bob Baker was acting President. There were 27 members and 2 guests present. Bridget Murphy was Tim McCabe’s guest. She is the new Facilities Director at WCH. John Thomas’ guest was Greg Nelson.  Peter Skalski had the thought of the day. Dig ‘n Grin was Todd Stevens who told Lawyer jokes. The speaker was Yves Lassese, who spoke about a group bringing clean water to Haitians. A well costs $15,000 to dig and it must be maintained.
Help Us Warm the Hearts of Children
Please help us reach our goal of providing brand new Operation Warm winter coats to 1,000 children living in need in the Chicago area.  We believe a new coat is more than a coat and can tell a child "You're worth it."  We believe it can inspire happiness and warmth in a child, while also increasing self-confidence, peer acceptance, school attendance, and outdoor play.
 
Over the past seven years, the Rotary Club of Winnetka-Northfield has provided a gift of warmth to nearly 4,000 area children. For these children and their families, your gift of a new coat will be a true blessing.
 
We partner with several area non-profit organizations identified by our club members, including:
 
Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook
Holy Family Ministries in North Lawndale
Inner City Impact in Cicero | JCYS in Highwood
Open Arms Mission in Antioch | Maryville Crisis Nursery in Oak Park
Hope Community Church in Chicago's Austin Neighborhood
Asian Youth Services
 
Won't you join us with a tax deductible donation in support of our goal?  You can create your own fundraising page- and even dedicate it to one of our beneficiary organizations- and share with friends or family, or donate directly above.  $20 provides a new winter coat for a child.  How many children will you keep warm next winter?
 
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY: Another local Rotary Club will match up to $400 in donations! Make a donation today and double your impact!
