Rotary Club of Buffalo Grove hosts Pizza Fest April 22

You don't have to cook Wednesday, April 22, thanks to the Rotary Club of Buffalo Grove. Grab the family and go to the Pizza Fest from 5-8 p.m. at Buffalo Grove High School, 1100 W. Dundee Road. Admission is $2. Each slice of pizza is only $2 and any drink is $1.

You will enjoy many varieties of America's favorite food thanks to participating local pizza establishments including Lou Malnati's, Nino's, Wa-Pa-Ghetti's, Domino's and more. Rotary appreciates the contribution these businesses and Culver's (dessert $2) are offering to help Rotary in its mission.

During this benefit, Rotary will be collecting the nonperishable food items you bring to help stock the Wheeling Food Pantry and Kingswood Food Pantry in Buffalo Grove. Rotary clubs work hard with other groups to keep shelves stocked since demand for food by families in need has greatly increased.

Rotary is the world's first and largest service organization whose members form a global network of business, professional, and community leaders volunteering their time and talents to serve their communities and the world.

Rotary is not a business networking organization. Rotarians focus on "Service above Self" as a commitment toward bettering the world around them. Strong fellowship among Rotarians and meaningful humanitarian service projects characterize Rotary worldwide. Rotary International is working to eradicate polio, end poverty, and promote world peace and cultural understanding.

Buffalo Grove Rotary supports many local charities and community initiatives including hunger relief, safety programs, Special Olympics, park improvements, school programs and student exchanges. Beyond its local efforts, members have traveled to global service projects that include providing fresh water in Africa, development projects for schools in the Guatemalan jungle and immunization efforts to eradicate polio in India and Nigeria.

Plan to see your friends and neighbors on April 22, at the Rotary Pizza Fest. You will be supporting many needing programs to which Rotary contributes.
