Culver's proceeds to aid Glenview History Center
Culver's restaurant at 1727 Waukegan Road will donate 20% of its sales from customers from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday to support the Glenview History Center.
Founded in 1965, the History Center is a nonprofit that furthers an appreciation for Glenview history with educational programs and informational services. It maintains the Farmhouse Museum and Hibbard Library, 1121 Waukegan Road, that are open from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays.
On Feb. 7, the Village of Glenview approved a resolution to create an intergovernmental agreement between the village and the Glenview Public Library to support the History Center's operations.
The village's role is providing funding and maintenance for the center, which at the time saw "expenses outpacing revenue," the village said.
