    The library before the makeover...check back soon for updates

    We’ve already begun work to fulfill one of our goals for 2012, the creation of the Sue Duncan Library! With the enormously generous support of Lowe’s Home Improvement, we have partnered with Jackie Robinson Elementary School to honor Sue while promoting family literacy and early childhood development. The classroom adjacent to our main room is being completely renovated and outfitted with a smartboard and other new technology, as well as an entirely new collection of books. On permanent display will be “Sue’s Picks,” a set of Sue’s most treasured and often-used children’s books, available for our kids and their parents to read and to borrow.

It was great to be back at the University Club, and to see some of our old friends and make some new ones. As usual, the hors d’oeuvres were delicious, the speakers were engaging, and the music was just right. We hope all of you enjoyed the evening as much as we did.

    As we look forward to the holidays, our efforts to add another site continue. We need your help. Enrollment at the Center is at capacity, and Owen is still forced to say “no” to hard-working families who need our services. Make this holiday season a bright one for Chicago’s children. Your support can light up their smiles as well as their futures.
