STATE OF THE VILLAGE LUNCHEON 5/11
One of the most popular luncheon each year is our annual "State of the Village" where Mayor Frank Saverino, Sr. and staff give an update on all things Carol Stream.
Besides a presentation, we will also have the Mini-Expo before the luncheon and after. Tables are $50 and include one lunch -- a great way to raise your visibility.

FUNDRAISER FOR SCHOLARSHIPS - CS CHAMBER FOUNDATION
The Carol Stream Chamber Foundation is a 501(C)3 created to allow donors to benefit from tax deductions allowed by the law. Each Spring, the Scholarship Committee interviews candidates who apply for college scholarships.
In order to help our local students, the Foundation has set up a series of fundraisers during 2016. Our next ones will be held at Village Tavern & Grill on May 18th and 25th. If you would like to help, you can dine in and must bring this flyer so that the organization will receive a percentage of the profits.
-> Watch for the blue & white Collection cans at our lunches and our events, where you are invited to drop some change or more to add towards this scholarship effort.
We also thank everyone who has made a donation on their renewal invoices. Thank you!
