Good morning to all our Facebook fans!! A little later this morning we will be working with Bettenhausen Auto group and doing a relief collection for our neighbors in Aroma Park that have been hit by the recent tornado. We will be at the Bettenhausen Megastore at 159th and 94th avenue from 8:00 a.m. to noon taking donations, and working to fill the five ton!! The photo attached shows all the items that they are needing for donations. Please stop up there let's donate to help our neighbors and fellow residents of Illinois. Let's show them that the Orland and Tinley area care about what happens to our community neighbors. Look forward to seeing everyone out there this morning and let's fill the 5 ton!!
