- 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

Proceeds from the event went to the 3,400 children and adults with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and other developmental/intellectual disabilities that Clearbrook serves. Colleen Gallagher - Des Plaines City Officials, Police Department personnel and Dayton Freight employees gathered outside the Police Station Nov. 24 to close the door on the trailer headed for the East Coast with donated items as part of the Des Plaines Police and Fire Department’s "New York, Des Plaines Has Your Back" Hurricane Sandy Relief Effort. Thousands of items were collected from throughout the community, with numerous schools, businesses and residents lending support to the relief efforts. According to Police Chief Bill Kushner, Des Plaines Police have been working with a representative from the New York City Police Department who is coordinating relief efforts in the area. Two members of the Des Plaines Department, Sergeant Ron Smith and Officer Tom Stancato, who worked on coordinating the Relief Effort, are traveling with the trailer, donated by Dayton Freight, and are relaying photographs to the Police Department as they travel.
