I went to the Trib to catch the latest on the storm that came through this afternoon. I heard there were some scary power lines down in Des Plaines. I caught a link about a fire destroying a building in Palatine. It was a charity resale shop belonging to the Wings program. It stands for Women in Need Growing Stronger and it provides emergency assistance and shelter for homeless and abused women and children.
Wings runs three retail shops in the suburbs - the other two are in Schaumburg and Niles. If you have the opportunity this weekend, I am sure they could use all the donations - and shoppers! - they can get.
About Me
- Anne
- I am an HR professional, perennial student, and volunteer. I read all sorts of articles on personal finance and also the travel section and plenty of books and I will tell you all about them. I still believe "if you want to get something done, you ask the busiest person". I live in Glenview, IL.
Crowdrise is about online fundraising, event fundraising, volunteering and having the most fun in the world while doing it. Crowdrise is way more fun than anything else aside from being all nervous about trying to kiss a girl for the first time and her not saying something like 'you've got to be kidding me.'
