The Mount Prospect Community Connections Center will celebrate its 10th anniversary from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, at the center, 1711 W. Algonquin Road.

Residents are invited to join the party, which will be held outside to accommodate the crowd, for a fun event with food and activities.

The vision of the center is to create a healthy Mount Prospect community by providing a pathway to village services, social services, medical health, personal safety, library services, quality education, economic self-sufficiency, jobs, cultural enrichment and more for all residents.

Services that can be accessed through the center include public health nursing and social services, group programming and food pantry assistance, parenting classes, English language conversation, a play-and-learn program for preschool age children.

"The center has a history of success," said village Human Services Director Julie Kane. "After opening in 2009, the center was expanded in 2012 to accommodate the demand for programming and services."
