What a fantastic evening at the 2nd Annual Trivia Night benefiting Lighthouse Housing Alliance!

We had the opportunity to attend in support of a dear friend, AnnaMaria Mattey, whose passion and dedication led to the creation of this incredible organization. Lighthouse Housing Alliance is making a meaningful difference by helping local families facing housing instability, and it was inspiring to see so many people come together to support their mission.

We were proud to represent the Lake Zurich Rotary Club as part of a trivia team. Out of 20 teams, we managed to earn a 7th-place finish—not too bad for a group that was having as much fun socializing as we were answering questions! 😊

Between the trivia competition, great food, live music, auction prizes, and wonderful company, it was truly a memorable night. Thank you to everyone who helped make the event such a success, and congratulations to the Lighthouse Housing Alliance team for another outstanding fundraiser.

We met some incredible young students from Fremd High School who started a program called GFS Chicago. SBF Chicago is a non profit in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago bringing people together to fight hunger across the Chicagoland area. The organization hosts volunteer events where participants pack sandwiches, snacks, and meal bags that are distributed to local schools and charities serving people experiencing food insecurity.

We were so happy to participate in their packing event this past Sunday.

📚❤️ A Huge Thank You to Rosey Madulara at Hawthorn Woods Community Bank! ❤️📚

The Lake Zurich Rotary Club would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Hawthorn Woods Community Bank for partnering with us on our recent book drive and for serving as a collection site for donations from their generous clients and community members.

Thanks to the incredible support of the bank and everyone who contributed, we collected multiple boxes of books that will be distributed to families in need through the Lake Zurich Food Pantry. These books help provide children and families with access to reading, learning, and imagination—something every family deserves.

Community partnerships like this make a lasting impact, and we couldn’t accomplish our mission without the kindness and generosity of organizations like Hawthorn Woods Community Bank and the many individuals who donated.

Thank you for helping us put books into the hands of local families and for making a difference right here in our community! 📖✨
