Look for new opportunities for action, education, community, and solidarity in and around McHenry County here every week.
Walking the Walk
The League of Women Voters of McHenry County is sponsoring a series of County Board District Candidate Events. The next two events feature County Board Districts 6 and 8 from 1-3 pm Saturday, September 12 at the Nippersink Library, 5418 Hill Road in Richmond and District 5 at the McHenry Library, 809 Front Street, McHenry. Sunday, Sept 27 from 2-4 pm.
The League is a non-partisan organization dedicated to making democracy work through voter education, issue advocacy and citizen participation. All candidates for each office were invited, but participation is voluntary and not guaranteed.
The fight to preserve threatened democracy is urgent at all levels of government. Become an informed voter and the vote your conscience and principles.
Compassion for Campers
The McHenry County Mental Health Board which generously stepped up to offer a temporary home to the McHenry County Resource Center (MCHC) and Compassion for Campers (C4C) over the summer has rented the space to a new tenant effective October 1. After that MCHC must make new arrangements. An active search for a suitable location is under way, preferably in an accessible spot near public transportation options and space for on sight storage, shower and/or laundry facilities would be a plus.
Meanwhile C4C will be at the MCHC site, 620 Dakota Street in Crystal Lake this Friday, September 4, from 10 am to 2 pm and then on Friday, September 18. Other service providers will be on hand for the last Resource Center event there on Friday, September 24.
Financial support is critical to fulfilling our mission. The best thing you can do is offer your critically needed financial support. Money donations are always welcome at https://tinyurl.com/3bz96axe. Look for updates here. Email compassionforcampers@treeoflifeuu.org .
