Movie description: A small but brave donkey named Bo yearns for a life beyond his daily grind at the village mill. One day he finds the courage to break free, and finally goes on the adventure of his dreams. On his journey, he teams up with Ruth, a loveable sheep who has lost her flock and Dave, a dove with lofty aspirations. Along with three wisecracking camels and some eccentric stable animals, Bo and his new friends follow the Star and become accidental heroes in the greatest story ever told - the first Christmas.

 

We're happy to announce a new Little Free Library that was installed today at Aunt Martha's Carpentersville Community Health Center at Rt 68 and Wakefield Dr. It's now fully stocked with lots of great books—many Spanish titles. 

 

 

Congratulations to one of this years Jim Krenz Memorial Scholarship, Kelly Swanson from Dundee Crown HS. A well deserved recipient who was on National Honor Society, was a AP & IL State Scholar, had perfect attendance in school, was involved in Student Council, Orchestra, Swimming, Rotary Interact, and volunteered in countless community service projects !

On a unseasonably warm day in November we once again distributed 300 coats to local children in need just in time for the cold weather which is just around the corner!

 

THANK YOU to all those people who support us through out the year at our various events who have given us this opportunity to give back for the last 8 years.

 

THANK YOU the the various clubs of the Boys & Girls Club of Dundee Township and the Social worker staff at District 300 for all their help with the children and distribution.

 

THANK YOU to all club members who volunteered and the staff at Polynt Composites USA for their time and contributions as well.

 

On Monday September 12, 2016 we had our official Ribbon Cutting ceremony for our very own Little Free Library here in Carpentersville. The few that gathered brought books to donate, and enjoyed a brief presentation as we made the Grand Opening official. Thanks to everyone who made it a success and a possibility!

 

Remember you can find our Little Free Library located at the south entrance of the village hall or use coordinates Lat: 42.1178 Long: -88.2646 on your GPS to take you right to it!

Despite the lack of summer weather and with a definite chill in the air we made the most of our situation and had a great 2016 kickoff to Summer event anyway! Thanks to the facilities at the Carpentersville Middle School we were able to re-locate at the last minute and have the event indoors. After some mass last minute notifications everyone was updated and were able to make there way out for an entertaining evening.

 

Over the past year Alvaro and his family in El Vaquero SLP, Mexico have really made the Super Adobe house we built for them their own. With recent torrential rains that plagued the area they were able to stay dry and protected from the elements. More and more each day the realize the benefits and become more appreciative of what we have been able to provide. Check out all the latest photos in th photo Album!
