Wow! We are absolutely blown away by the generosity of our community as we gear up for the 20th Anniversary of the Rockin' Rotary Ribfest! 🎉🍗

We are so incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support this year that we actually have to split our $3,000-level sponsor shoutouts into TWO separate posts just to fit everyone in!

A massive THANK YOU to this amazing group of $3,000 sponsors. Your immense generosity helps us bring the ultimate food, music, and fun to Sunset Park, and we truly couldn't celebrate this 20-year milestone without you.

More native plants, more happy pollinators!

We united with the Rotary Club of Lake in the Hills and NAMI of McHenry County to plant a pollinator garden which will beautify the new NAMI entrance! Many thanks to Rotary District 6440 for the District Collaborative Environmental Grant to help make this possible.

Please join us in supporting our beautiful oceans.

Today is World Oceans Day.

You may live near the coast or far inland, but your choices still reach the sea. Healthy oceans support clean air, food, livelihoods, wildlife, and safer communities.

Today, take one simple step: reduce single-use plastics, join a cleanup, protect a local waterway, or choose more sustainable habits at home.

Care for the ocean begins wherever you are.
