“Such a community gem. I’ve loved the different workshops I’ve attended. I appreciate being able to buy materials from the warehouse - which provides affordable materials and keeps them out of the landfills. Their job force training has been life changing for my son and others.”

“Feed My Starving Children is an incredibly well-organized volunteer organization. The packaging process for the manna packs was clearly explained, and there was ample assistance available for volunteers. It was a high-energy, fun, and team-oriented experience that lasted about an hour and a half. They are also kid-friendly, welcoming young children to participate. Our family had a fantastic time volunteering on Juneteenth. Highly recommended!”

“They were great and made all the families feel very welcome. I think I can speak for most everyone there how great it was. Also to find out what to do at Naval graduation and to pick up your new sailor from boot camp every morning. Also where to be at the airport to meet them when they fly out. Great to also meet other families.”

“Super helpful amd friendly staff. Due to COVID they do restrict number of people entering building. Dr was great at explaining my father's condition and hopefully got through to him. Great information on their services. So glad we were able to get an appointment earlier rather than having to wait for the new year.”

“Linda and Admin Creative did a great job organizing our Taste of Evanston fundraising event - from securing new sponsors to improving our website, managing ticket sales, social media and a thousand logistical details to create the event itself. The committee and I were amazed at all the knowledge and resources she brought to the party. She improved our event 100% and we've hired her again to do this year's fundraiser.”

“My niece's baby shower was on their patio. Their staff was very nice and the grounds are lovely. There should be decent coverage if they're going to rent out their patio. The rain chased everyone in to a MUCH smaller covered area, so many of us left for infection control reasons. Had the rain been earlier, it would have destroyed the event. I'm sure they're not cheap. This is an unacceptable gamble. Also, be aware that their signage is completely inadequate and Google directions is inaccurate when approaching from the north. Look for a tiny sandwich sign placed right on the pavement to identify your turn into their parking lot, rather than the final street Google says you're supposed to turn on.”

“The reputation of the Patty Turner Center as the liveliest gathering spot on the North Shore is well- known. People come from multiple suburbs to attend the well- planned, outstanding programs and special events as well as the classes offered there. If I were asked to design a perfect center for creating a warm community, the PTC would serve as my template. I highly recommend it.”

“This organization is a true blessing to so many people. From the LCC K9 Comfort Dogs to the Lutheran Emergency Response Teams, support for Veterans and first responders, and more! They do what they do with love and to be a light in the world even during the darkest and most challenging of times. I have volunteered at the center in Northbrook and for their annual Comfort Dog Conference. The staff, a small but mighty team, are caring and humble in their service to others. The comfort dog program is like no other, bringing these well-trained, well-behaved animals into situations where people need healing. I feel it's a very worthwhile organization to support with donations and to be involved with. Thank you all for the amazing work you are doing. The world needs more organizations like this.”

“This is a small thrift store in a strip mall with a parking problem. (There are signs telling Wings customers specifically where they can't park.) Very well organized inside. It contains mostly quality goods (clothes to household to furniture to jewelry) priced up higher than most thrift stores. However, you sometimes find special items that aren't carried in the Salvation Armies or Goodwills that make it worth stopping in.”

“Did you ever wonder what you can do to make a difference? I know I have. One of my passions since I was a child was Foster Care. I did a lot of research on that topic in college and wrote my undergraduate thesis on Foster Care. I always wanted to do something more... This year a wonderful movie came out, Instant Family. At the end of the movie, a link went up on the screen telling the audience that if they want to help a foster child to check out the link. That's how I found CASA and I am so lucky that I did. I remember walking into the building for the very first time for my interview with one of the trainers. I was nervous and excited, not knowing what to expect. On my drive back home, my friend called and asked me how the interview went. The first word that came into mind was inspiring. That's a strange word to describe an interview, but that was the one word that kept coming to mind every time I talked about it. We had 40 hours of intense training, split into twice a week sessions starting mid April. Living in Chicago, it was quite a long drive to get to Vernon Hills. However, after every session I felt blissfully happy and inspired. Mondays and Wednesday became my favorite days. The training sessions included videos, presentations, speakers and super interesting activities. We were put on an emotional rollercoaster and given tools to become the best advocates we could be. At the end of our 40 hour session, we were sworn in in-front of a judge and became official Court Appointed Special Advocates and assigned our first case. Thank you to the amazing staff at CASA Lake County who make a difference in people's lives. Thank you Debra for training me to become the best advocate I can be, Monica for becoming my advocate manager, Brendan for having me join Young Professionals Board; Margaret, Shannon, Elizabeth, Laura, Debby for being guest speakers and wonderful resources if we ever needed anything. Sherri for being so friendly when we went to visit court to observe. Of course, thank you Terri for managing this incredible organization for so many year. If you want to learn more about how you can help a child and have an unforgettable, one of a kind volunteer experience, you should check CASA Lake County out. I bet you won't be disappointed. :)”

“After a few years at a much more expensive gym, switched our family to the Y and have been thrilled. The wide range of classes available, as well as the access to good pools and courts (including racquetball courts, which many gyms don't have) have been perfect for us. Far exceeds the offerings of the previous gym at a much more affordable price.”

“My family used to come here before the fire for the daddy-daughter dances. The Woman's Club of Wilmette has done an amazing job of rebuilding the space after the fire. It's a beautiful event space. I've been here for multiple community service events, and I look forward to meeting more people through their Women in Business Networking group.”

“I wanted to start off this review by saying what The Spiritual Forum is, but where to start? What it is is limitless, really, with respect to the spiritual growth podcast listeners and in-person attendees can get from digging into it. Rev. Carol Saunders, a Unity Minister, started up and leads the weekly, Sunday morning forum. She takes a spiritual topic, puts framework and definition around it and then opens it up to discussion with those in attendance. I've always been used to Sunday church events where the minister presents a lesson at some length, so at first when listening to one of the Forum's podcasts, I felt I might be missing the lesson. But after listening to a few, things clicked, the lesson is there. In the topic presentation, in the perspective those attending bring to the discussion, in the self-inquiry Rev. Carol prompts by posing questions back in response and by the awareness that surfaces in me while openly listening to this all. The Spiritual Forum can be called an alternative to church, and that's not to say there isn't value in traditional Sunday Services. This is another platform and one that can reach a more vast audience. Some attendees have Unity backgrounds, others do not, it doesn't matter here, all are welcome. To an extent, spiritual development springboards from awakening, developing awareness and maintaining that awareness. The spiritual topics addressed in the forum are practical; they are ones that tie in with our daily lives. Forums like this are a rare find - I haven't come across anything similar to this yet. If you live in the area and can attend in person, check it out in person sometime - be a part of the positive energy there and take advantage of the opportunity to connect with others on the path.”
