At our November 13 club meeting, Megan Reynold told members about the upcoming United Way Healing Illinois Regional Event. Healing Illinois is a racial healing initiative of the Illinois Department of Human Services in partnership with the Field Foundation of Illinois. They will be distributing $4.5 million in grants across the state of Illinois. Grants will be up to $15,000, with a maximum of $40,000 for collaborative projects. The United Way's Regional Event will be held on December 5 at the Lincoln Land Community College Trutter Center (2400 Millennium Drive) from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. If you want to participate in this event you must register by Friday, December 1. Use the QR code to register. There is no cost and lunch will be provided. The purpose of the event is to provide information and training on this new grant opportunity that will help fund racial healing work in our community. The flyer included below provides more information. Megan handed out original flyers at our meeting. If you have any questions about registering, contact Megan Reynolds. Please let Megan know if you plan to attend this event.
