On July 23, 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: Club President Jim Dopler of Kildeer and his wife, Marilyn; Past District Governor Bill Ferreira of Long Grove; and Adam Keppel of Cary and his wife, Cristina. Numerous other volunteers from the community also help out with the event each week.

A picnic-themed menu was planned, including fried chicken along with assorted salads, vegetables, deserts and beverages. Approximately 140 guests attended the event.

Emmaus House provides food, clothing and funding for shelter to families in need in Lake County, helping them move from crisis to stability.

The Rotary Club of Long Grove, Kildeer and Hawthorn Woods meets Tuesdays at 7:15 a.m. at Joanie's Pizza in Long Grove.
