“We adopted Katalina 2 years ago today. She came from a 51 dog hoarding situation and was shy and skiddish. Guess what? She is still shy and skiddish and loved and spoiled and walked and treated like a princess. Her best friend is our rescued Beagle Spirit and she is the sweetest addition to our family. I loved working with Almost Home. The foster mom was so kind and went above and beyond to support our adoption. Please support this agency and the volunteers that make it happen.”
“Beautiful amazing and a memorable visit. We drove through the main path and it was absolutely jaw dropping beautiful. I stopped at big rock and walked the wood chipped path crossing paths with lots of birds, butterflies and squirrels. Big rock is definitely something to see and to read the story of why this big rock is in the middle of the forest. I sure wish I had more time to visit but next time I’ll plan on staying a bit longer and walk the trails. Admission is $25 for adults, Seniors $19, small children and infants are free. If you are a active duty military member or family of an active duty service member admission is free and the whole car is free meaning everyone in the car is free, you just have to show valid military ID.”
“FMSC is a great place to volunteer, especially for families with kids. The flexibility is one of the biggest highlights- you can sign up for shifts that fit your schedule.
What really stands out is how welcoming and organized everything is. The activities are meaningful but simple enough for all ages to participate, making it a perfect way to spend quality time together while making a positive impact.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to volunteer in a way that’s flexible, family-friendly, and fulfilling!”
“07-26-2024 - VFW American Legion Roselle Cruise Nights does a fabulous job every year. This show featured the incredible and fantastic Rick Lindy and the Wild Ones.”
“Wonderful place. Staff is friendly. They provide work opportunities and experience for those with special needs. They also take wonderful care of their plants all year long.”
“My wife received her package several weeks ago and she cried. The thoughtfulness of each and every item is quite touching. She loves the blanket and uses it every chemo day with the booties. She tells everyone she meets about the hope box. God bless all of you for your wonderful work and a sincere heartfelt thanks to whomever requested one for her. Its not the items within the box so much as the outpouring of love and thoughtfulness that builds the spirit to keep cancer victims moving forward in a positive frame of mind. Thank you all!”
“I frequently donate mostly clothes to the store and and the staff is very welcoming and appreciative. I pull up to the side door and they come out and unload my car. I feel really good because the money is used for a local organization that helps the children here in our area and I know where the money is going and it is staying locally where it is needed right now. I am very happy to support them and glad that I can on a frequent basis.”
“I had a great experience! From the moment I arrived, everything went smoothly. The staff was kind, welcoming, and professional. I felt comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. Everything was clean, organized, and handled with care. I’m really happy with the service and would definitely recommend it to others. Thank you for making my experience so positive!”
“I want to thank the beautiful women at Northwest Compass Mt Prospect for assisting me with my financial hardship. It was literally at the point of no return and things could have gotten drastically worse had they not stepped in to mitigate and advocate on my behalf. I saw the gospel being played out in real time as these women fought for me. I sat in another room but could see through the window how they were leaning forward sitting down on the phone speaking with my debt collector and were displaying love and passion for their jobs and me, their neighbor. We hit some walls along the way but my case worker Brianna McGahee patiently and persistently found a solution for me that has changed the trajectory of my finances in an indescribable way. I want to personally thank Brianna for not giving up on me when it looked like we were out of options. With her by my side it felt like there is always an option on the table. It’s just a matter of having the will to roll up the sleeves and get down in the dirt with someone to give them a hand up.
I highly recommend Brianna for any promotion or pay raise that is available for her. We need more people like her in the field helping those truly in need.
Thanks again to all the women involved in helping me. Praise God! God bless you all!”
“I attend weekly metaphysical classes here because of the growth and the comradery.

“Please understand that Free masonry and the Shriners are not what they used to be 50 years ago. The reason why so many influential men are and were Freemasons From Walt Disney to Colonel Sanders is because Freemasonry used to really help you get ahead in the world.. As the decline of new memberships started the standard of being a Mason also decreased as well out of desperation for members. There’s so many people in here and they don’t even know why they are. It’s something to do In your spare time if you don’t really have friends, but it’s not gonna get you anywhere… Don’t believe me? Talk to Mason yourself and do not be afraid to question their answer Of why they joined Freemasonry and what they got out of it”
“Absolutely great time! Birds of Prey sanctuary tour on Sundays 1-3pm is a entertaining and educational. $20 a car is a steal for a wonderful time for kids, families, bird watchers, or a date.
Highly recommended and I don't particularly like birds.”

They are also looking for volunteers if you have time to spare.”
