Once again, the DuPage Friends of Extension have the honor
of extending you an invitation to our annual summer fundraiser – Brunch at Ball
Gardens. Join us on Saturday, July 15,
2017 for an afternoon of delicious food, good people, and an enjoyable time.
Relax in the beautiful gardens of Ball Horticulture at 622
Town Rd., West Chicago, IL. Master
Gardeners from the Extension are available to guide you through the
gardens. Or, if you prefer a self-guided
tour, please feel free to roam. Meet new
friends and share with existing ones. Just a wonderful way to enjoy and relax
with Mother Nature and a wonderful way to support your community educational
programs provided by the University of Illinois Extension.
The Extension needs your help to continue its successful
outreach to the community, including the 4-H Youth Development Program and the Master
Gardeners work with the DuPage Convalescent Home, young adults with
disabilities at We Grow Dreams, Veterans at Cantigny, and patients and families
at Ronald McDonald House, along with schools and groups like DGOG.
Our
communities in and around DuPage County need these programs. They are critical to positive thinking and
positive living. With no State funding,
and reduction in funding from other agencies, lay-offs and program reduction
stands by the Extension door. You can
make a difference!
(Thanks to our friend Marilyn Joyner for this invitation!)
