“Had my son's 9th birthday party here and it was amazing! The staff was so patient and helpful to the kids. Everyone had a great time and it was so easy to host! Highly reccomend!”
“I was not sure about joining a chamber and then I met Drew at The Edge Fitness. He told me about all the great things the Chamber had to offer. Anytime I have a question Drew is always there to answer it. He has made events fun and is always welcoming. I look forward to attending more events!”
“The pantry helps families and individuals in our community who need a helping hand. It's possible because of our local stores, bakeries, bread companies, private donations, and businesses donating food, goods, and money. At some point in life everyone needs a helping hand. We are a community who takes care of each other. There are wonderful volunteers who come and help out. The local high schools also make community service a requirement. Teaching young people empa, compassion, and service to others is what make a society work.”
“Horizons For The Blind is amazing! I found out about them through reading information about resources for blind persons, in a magazine produced for blind people. This article was written in the 90s', and I called Horizons for a Braille catalog, and was completely impressed. I was excited more and more as I kept reading every page of the catalog.
My access to Braille cookbooks was limited, and preparation directions for convenience foods, or cake mixes was nil. I could find no access to craft books at all, and thought that this was just part of the inconvenience lived by all blind persons.
Horizons changed all of this, in an inclusive, positive, and dedicated manner, and are to be commended for all of their hard work. I wish there were more hard-working companies who do this work, because they honestly care enough to be helpful, and believe in accessibility for all, and are not just doing so, only to force people to have to fight to be considered equal. I appreciate Horizons, and all other companies who take the time, dedication and effort to be inclusive, and do so with sincerity in mind.
Horizons, you're awesome. I give the highest rating. Keep up the great work and attitude.”
“I was at fair Oaks for weeks where I received the best care and motivation.
I can not speak enough praise on the rehab unit and the CNA, S gave the best considerate care when dealing with me.”
“If you or a loved one are dealing with mental illness, I cannot suggest this free service more. They've been a great service for many years, and I cannot thank them enough.”
“Have observed this shelter in various ways over the past few years & feel confident in recommending them. This place is clean, the cats/kittens in their care are obviously healthy & loved. I have heard them verify references & confirm vet records on potential adopters & find that refreshing as some shelters are too quick to hand over helpless animals in order to run up adoption numbers. They are selective & should be. These folks have stepped up to help in hoarding / abuse situations, have helped raise money to aid ill/injured animals brought to them & have devoted personal time to ensure each animal knows a loving touch while in their care & after. I encourage you to take time to select a furry family member here, then you will understand their devotion. Consider volunteering or fostering here. They can’t do it alone - it takes community support.”
“Very modern and up to date compared to some of the other metro Chicago YMCAs. Two huge pools, one for competition / laps, the other for family. Men, women's, and family locker rooms are available. Very nice lobby space, very open layout.”
“I had a great experience at Goodwill Store & Donation Center - Northbrook. The store was clean, well-organized, and easy to browse. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the visit pleasant from start to finish. There was a nice variety of items at very affordable prices, and I was able to find some unique pieces in excellent condition. This location is definitely worth visiting if you enjoy thrifting or supporting a good cause.”
“The best therapy place ever. I'm so happy my son is there every Wednesday. The therapists here are very good. The results are amazing.
Thank you Ms. Ally & Ms. Whitney ❤️”
