MCC board aims for greater transparency, communication
When Ron Parrish became the new leader of the McHenry County College board of trustees, he knew he would be overseeing some changes. A contentious election season ended with a transformed board, thanks to the retirement of Trustee Dennis Adams and voters’ decisions to end the service of longtime incumbents Barbara Walters and Carol Larson. Parrish announced several transparency initiatives Thursday night in a push to improve communication with the public.

- The Choral-aires Chorus placed second in the Community Teams category raising funds for breast cancer research last month, missing first place by only $25. The chorus raised $3,985 by the time the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure rolled around, with more donations still coming, surpassing their original goal of $3,000. The Choral-Aires has five current chorus members that either have, or have had, breast cancer. And this year, 2 of the team members discovered that their mothers have breast cancer, so they were walking on race day for their moms. One member of our team, Kara Gray, celebrated her 10 years without breast cancer this year. While not a Chorus member, she is the daughter of long-time member Martha Anderson, who also walked with the team on race day. Lindsey Herza
