Devon Bank - Easily accessible in the southeast corner of the lot at 6445 N. Western Avenue.
High Ridge YMCA - Accessible to all through the YMCA lot 2424 W. Touhy. entrance on Western Avenue.
We can accept your newspapers, school & business documents, junk mail, catalogs, soft cover books & magazines.
Did you know that 1 week of daily newspapers can add up to 10 lbs of paper? The West Ridge Chamber of Commerce is committed to community education. Our local RECYCLING program is in place not only to help the earth, but to assist community schools. In the 2007-08 school year the Chamber raised $2,000 through these programs. Funds provided financial assistance to Boone Community School. The entire 4th grade class and 5 teachers were able to attend a science field trip at Experiencia at no cost to them. On the trip, students had a chance to experience hands on learning of subjects like recycling, composting and water conservation and collection. Help us generate funds to do it again! Recycle your paper with us Please call the Chamber offices with questions 773-743-6022 |

Conversations in Action: Discover Your Truth A Psychodrama Workshop November 8, 2008 Methodist Hospital of Chicago
10 AM- 5:00 PM 5025 N. Paulina
(lunch on your own-there is a hospital cafeteria)
Qualifies for 6 HOURS CEU's Cost:$95
(Full and Partial Scholarships Available)
Too often we leave our conversations unfinished; our relationships are sometimes incomplete, and our difficulties unresolved. Psychodrama allows us to capture the scenes which have left us stuck, and shows us how to access and express ourselves with new honesty and compassion. By exploring our true thoughts, needs and feelings, we achieve new perspectives and powerful insights, and we actualize our potential for intimacy, creativity and spirituality.
LORELEI GOLDMAN, FASGPP, MA, is the Training Director of the Psychodrama Institute of Chicago, and a licensed clinician who has been active nationally and internationally in psychodrama for over thirty years. Having trained with Elaine Sachnoff, Zerka Moreno, and others, she is a fellow of the American Society for Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama (ASGPP). She is also author of Stories to Dramatize, as well as other works.
SHELLEY KORSHAK, MD, CGP, is a psychotherapist and a psychiatrist who has been in private practice for twenty-five years. Last year she gave an original presentation, "Fathers and Daughters: The Promise of Intimacy" in Austin, Texas. She also teaches Introduction to Group Psychotherapy in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Chicago, and she currently is a board member of the Illinois Group Psychotherapy Society (IGPS).
Registration will be limited.

Celebrating 20 Years of Women in Rotary
In Honor of Mary Jo Doyle (1939-2007) Rotary Club of Chicago-Far North Chartered 14 June 2001
District 6450 - Birthplace of Rotary
Wednesday 12 November 2008 - 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Amphora Restaurant - 7547 N Clark St., Chicago
(Free parking behind the restaurant)
$30.00 per person in advance - $ 35.00 at the door
The Rotary Club of Chicago-Far North (formerly known as RC of Chicago-Rogers Park) is holding an event to celebrate 20 Years of Women in Rotary by honoring the memory of Mary Jo Doyle. Funds raised from the event will fund a scholarship in her name for a graduating senior from a Rogers Park high school and will support the club's community service projects. Mary Jo Doyle, a graduate from St. Scholastica Academy, was the founder and Executive Director of the Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society and was an active Rotarian serving as the club's Secretary, Treasurer and Vice-President. Mary Jo worked with Rotarians to develop a database of pictures illustrating the history of Rogers Park as part of the club's project to mark 100 years of Rotary. This database is available on CDs and Rotarians plan to continue this project by making the CD available to community schools.
Mary Jo's work with the Society spanned a period of 28 years. During that time she co-authored two books: Chicago's Far North Side: An illustrated history of Rogers Park and West Ridge and neighborhoods within neighborhoods; and Twentieth Century Life on Chicago's Far North Side. Her impact on the far north side of Chicago cannot be measured and it is our intent that the establishment of the Mary Jo Doyle Scholarship will ensure that her name will be remembered by the future generations of our community.
Program: Establishment of the annual Mary Jo Doyle Scholarship and presentation of The Rotary Foundation Paul Harris Fellow Award to a distinguished member of the community.
Wine and appetizers - Caricatures by Darick - Tarot readings by Chris - Chair massage by Sue - Live music - "Split the pot" raffle.
