125th Anniversary Celebration

 

Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 4, 2011, for a special evening celebrating the 125th anniversary of the beginning of our ministry to children and older adults.  Staged at the Woodstock Opera House, friends and associates of Hearthstone Communities will gather amid an inviting selection of fantastic food, music and friendship to commemorate the rich history of this storied organization.  The evening begins at 6:00 p.m. with silent and live auctions accompanied by delicious hors d'oeuvres and fantastic desserts.  Plan to attend and bring your guests to this historic event located in Woodstock's most elegant and famous location.

Dear Friends:

 

The interest in the new Prairie Home duplexes has been tremendous! 

In fact, we were forced to schedule  a second informational luncheon at Woodstock Country Club to meet the need.  Please call Beth Burg, 815-321-4078, for your reservation.

 

Also, please join us on Saturday, June 4th at the historic Woodstock Opera House to celebrate Hearthstone's 125 years of serving children and older adults.

 

Regards,

 

Terry Egan, President & CEO

Hearthstone has forged a new relationship with Senior Services Associates, Inc. of McHenry County to offer a senior center in Woodstock.  Launched in December of last year, the new senior center offers a place to gather, socialize and learn about the programs and services available to older adults.

Children Go Green 

 

Children at the Hearthstone Early Learning Center are on a mission to save the world.  Joining a program called TerraCycle, students will be collecting items that normally cannnot be recycled.  These items will in turn be "up-cycled" and turned into backpacks, benches, and bags like the one pictured in this article.  The Early Learning Center will receive two cents for every non-recyclable item submitted.  Our children will learn how to enjoy saving the environment and helping their school.
