Thank you to all who joined us at The Morton Arboretum on 9/11 for our DuPage Day of Service and Remembrance. It was a wonderful gathering with speakers, music and video in a beautiful venue.

The three winners of the video contest were announced at Volapalooza on May 10th and each earned cash prizes generously underwritten by DeVry University.

Thanks to all who attended Volapalooza on May 10th. It was inspiring to hear the heroic stories of volunteers in our community.

There will not be a Volunteer Fair at Cantigny this September. The 10th Anniversary of September 11th will take place at the Morton Arboretum instead of this year’s fair.
