Today, our guest speaker was Allison Orr, Executive Director of the DWA.

What is the DWA? It is a non-profit marketing and economic development organization of downtown businesses, supporting those business owners and bridging the gap between the business and the residential communities in Wheaton. While well known for sponsoring popular events throughout the year (see below as well as Downtown Wheaton Happenings Calendar at https://www.downtownwheaton.com/events) the DWA actively pursues businesses to locate in the downtown area.

Wheaton Police Dept. Annual Report

5/17/23

Today, our guest speaker was Chief of Police, William (Bill) Murphy.

As Club members had been provided with an PDF version of the 55 page Annual Report prior to the meeting (available at https://www.wheaton.il.us/321/Police-Department), rather than a presentation, we had an extensive question & answer discussion regarding content items of interest to the Club members. As most of Club members have little, if any, direct

interaction with the police, it made for an interesting and lively discussion.

People's Resource Center

5/10/23

Today, our guest speaker was Jenifer (Jeni) Fabian, CEO of the People's Resource Center (PRC).

Our Club is a long time supporter of PRC and its vital community services. Since 1975, PRC has been been responding to hunger and poverty in DuPage County. Nearly 26,000 DuPage residents rely on PRC for help each year. PRC offers food and other basic necessities like clothes and rent assistance for neighbors in need, and also connects people with resources — education and tutoring, jobs, technology, art, and a caring community–to create a future of hope and opportunity. PRC can provide these services because of the generosity and support from community volunteers and supporters: more than 2,600 volunteers work with the staff offering time, skills, and resources to help, and supporters contribute food, clothing, books, computers, and financial support to help.

For additional information, and to support and/or volunteer, visit the website: https://www.peoplesrc.org/

Our Club was chartered November 16, 1990, and we currently have two dozen friendly, active members. Our Club is all about fellowship in community service, and members are expected to be involved beyond attending our weekly meetings.

Our club in action: In addition to supporting community service not-for-profit organizations, including those listed in the Community Links, we award collegiate and vocational scholarships to graduates of the Wheaton high schools. Our philanthropy is funded by our annual Poinsettia Sale, the Fun Run in Color (co-sponsored with the Wheaton Park District), and contributions by club members.

Meetings: Our Wednesday morning meetings are an hour's duration and typically feature a guest speaker addressing matters of community interest. See the schedule of upcoming speakers on the right side of this Home Page. Guests are always welcome!

For additional information, please contact any member of the Club Leadership listed on this Home Page simply by clicking one of the names.

You are always welcome as our guest for breakfast!
