And they do a great job of it, especially as the need for mental health services is increases as our society becomes more complex.

Also, our club was recognized and congratulated by the President of the Cook County Board and the Cook County Board of Commissioners for our 60 years of service to the community. Commissioner Scott Britton, a fellow Kiwanian, presented the Resolution for this honor to our club. We are very grateful for the recognition. ... See MoreSee Less
