RM Global Security for Medical Marijuana Clinic Contracts



Local Security Firms Race to Compete for Medical Marijuana Clinic Contracts


RM Global Security has joined the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce and hopes to partner with dispensaries vying for storefont space in the neighborhood, according to Medrano and chamber president Bill Morton. Medrano said local firms like his five-year-old company should be considered first to protect Chicago’s 13 medical marijuana dispensaries and the 22 cultivation centers across the state.

“Big companies have already made their presence known, and the dispensary licensees, understandably, they’re in a big hurry, they don’t have time to look at a small company like myself who calls them up or knocks on their door,” Medrano, 61, told DNAinfo Chicago. “They want somebody who has a nice, established presence. Already some of the big boys from Colorado are out here making a major showing in Illinois.”

Celebrate Sam Leone this Sunday!


The Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the upcoming Celebrating Sam Leone fundraiser with the Rogers Park / West Ridge Historical Society at Towbar on Sunday afternoon.



This is the first fundraiser of the new Leone Beach Park Advisory Council so they can support park programs and improvements, including scholarships for families with children who cannot afford Chicago Park District programs and events.

Chris Serb and other former and present Leone Beach lifeguards will share their stories which highlight the importance of the Jr. Lifeguard program and history of Sam Leone's "Sam's Boys" who are Rogers Park heroes  in their own right.

We will also be raffling off the official celebratory Sam Leone event banner (5ft in height). $10 donation at the door goes directly to the Leone Beach Park Advisory Council. Towbar will have food and drinks available for sale during the event.

Bowling Event March 29 to Support The Chicago Roundup

__________________________________________

Game Changers is the name, on March 29th bowling for recovery is the game!



My name is Larry Smith, your neighbor in Rogers Park. I have assembled a bowling team to raise money for the Chicago Roundup, the premier annual lgbt recovery event in Chicago happening August 14-15, 2015.

Will you help me?



Your donation would be tremendously helpful. Follow the link to our fundraiser page and look down the list for Game Changers. Your card is accepted and any amount is appreciated.

Donate Here


Hundreds of people in recovery will descend on Chicago for fun, fellowship, meetings, and learning. The planning committees for Chicago Roundup are working their tales off to make this event happen and Game Changers is just a small part of this huge effort.

Every sober addict in recovery is a miracle!


Thank you for your help!

Larry
