Annual Food Drive | Elgin Township Democrats

This year all of the proceeds will be going to:
Community Crisis Center Inc (www.crisiscenter.org)

Inflation hits the poor the hardest and makes their life very difficult. This means that they rely on the Food Banks even more. The BEST WAY to donate is to make a check out to CCC (Community Crisis Center) – OR – FFGA (Food for Greater Elgin) – OR – pick up a few extra items while you are at the store. Either way – early donations can be dropped off at my home – 2814 Beacon Point Cir.

Annual Aurora American Legion Golf Outing @ Tamarack Golf Club
Sep 21 @ 10:30 am – 6:30 pm

Thank you for your support of the 3rd Annual Roosevelt Aurora Golf Outing.  These past two years have been a lot of fun and your generosity has helped keep the Roosevelt Aurora Post 84 of the American Legion thriving. The funds raised from this golf outing is used to help active duty service members, Veterans and their families.  Post 84 has a scholarship program, works with the food pantries to help distribute food to our Veterans, participate in annual events that honor of Veterans and much more.

We have been so successful we recently outgrew our old office and have relocated into a bigger and more functional office at 1649 Montgomery Road, Suite 7 in Aurora.  We invite you to stop by.  However, we cannot continue without your help.  Please consider becoming a sponsor or buying a foursome to golf and help us to continue to provide assistance to the Aurora area Veterans.

On behalf of Roosevelt Aurora Post 84 of the American Legion, we welcome you to our 2023 Golf Classic at a new golf course location.

Since 1919, Post 84 has been an integral participant of the Fox Valley community.  We remain dedicated to our support and service to our local Veterans, families and community

Mike Eckburg, Commander Post 84

KCDW Hosts: What the Health? Forum @ Batavia Public Library
Oct 21 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

The Kane County Democratic Women are excited to share our upcoming healthcare panel discussion, “What the Health?” on Sat. Oct. 21st at the Batavia Public Library 10:00 AM -12:00 Noon.

We will examine how COVID exposed existing inequities in the US healthcare system, revealing the ongoing need to improve and reform healthcare access in order to achieve health equity, including the Social Determinants of Health and the intersection of current social issues, such as Addiction, Aging, Climate Justice, Debt, Disability Rights, Domestic Violence, Gun Violence, Jobs, Immigration, Housing, Inflation, LGBTQ+ Rights, Mental Health, Poverty, Racism, and Reproductive Rights, as they relate to healthcare disparity.

This is a great opportunity to ask an expert panel questions like:
How can we improve access to healthcare by eliminating barriers for patients, and healthcare providers?

Why is our US healthcare system so complicated and dysfunctional for families, and society as a whole?

Who is affected the most by current inequities in healthcare?

When did healthcare become so expensive in the US?

Hello Dear Friends,

I am sharing this email with you in hopes you would consider joining us this year. I know like many of you, we have organizations that are near to our hearts.

Suicide Prevention Services of America in Batavia is that organization for me. Suicide has impacted our family as it has many others and this organization has been helping support families, schools and communities in the Fox Valley area for over 30 years.

Kim and I want to fill 2 tables this year. If you are able to attend, please find the registration information in the link below.(Please indicate you are with us)

If you are not available to attend, perhaps consider making a donation or providing a gift that could be used in the raffle to help raise funds in support of their mission.

Thank you for everything you do.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
