On October 12th, the Rotary Club of Long Grove, Kildeer and Hawthorn Woods sponsored the Sunday evening community dinner at Emmaus House in Lake Zurich. The dinner is held weekly in the lower level of St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church. Club members participating in the event included: Jim Dopler of Kildeer (event organizer) and his wife, Marilyn, Ross Spencer (Inverness) and his wife Fran, Jim Runnfeldt (Elk Grove Village), Don Biciste (Kildeer) and Bill Ferreira (Long Grove). Numerous other volunteers from the local community also help out with the event each week.
