To Bob Kalicki, Jeff Westerheide and Gary Lackey, our stellar pantry crew who hauled in another large donation of canned goods and various sundries…great work, gentlemen and much thanks to you.

To the good people of St. Simon’s Episcopal Church in Arlington Heights who also dropped off some pantry supplies…thank you to our Episcopal neighbors and friends.

To our good friend Jim McQuade who rolled up his sleeves and sorted and gleaned through 40 cases of food, shelved and stored everything and then, cleaned the entire pantry room top to bottom. You are amazing, Jim. Thank you!

To Waldek, our stained glass window installer who did a fantastic job putting up the remaining panels…a beautiful effort, Waldek. We are all so very grateful.

To Sean Oldenburg, a graduate of E.G.H.S. who once again gave more of his time and dug up all the rocks in the former outdoor altar site, bundled tree branches, dusted and vacuumed the church…such kindness is so warmly appreciated.
