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

Thankful


Happy Thanksgiving, Rogers Park!



Thanksgiving

First of all, I'm thankful for my family and friends. Rock N Roll is in good health and I'll be heading over to Grandma's house for lunch.

I'm thankful for our community of Rogers Park and what I have been able to accomplish with your support and input. We have great neighbors, a vocal community who are overall doing what they believe is best.

I'm thankful for the success of my company, Bill Morton Promotions and the non-profit volunteer-based Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce. These have kept me busy at least ten hours per day with positive creative projects, which I am also thankful to have the ability to give.

Let's hope that there are more positive sights to photograph this Winter.

- Bill Morton
