Get Connected with Palatine Residents 
at Street Fest
It is that time of year again for the Village of Palatine to host their "Street Fest" on August 26-28 in downtown Palatine. The Chamber is looking for members interested in marketing their businesses at our booth at this year's Village of Palatine Street Fest on Saturday, August 27-Sunday, August 28. We have split up the days into two-hour shifts. We highly recommend participating because Street Fest provides an excellent opportunity to meet and network with hundreds of Palatine residents. During your volunteer shift, you will be permitted to display your business or company information at the Chamber's booth, and in return you also agree to help run a table size game. Anyone interested in signing up for a shift should call the chamber office at (847) 359-7200.

 Business Briefs
Our dear friend, fellow Chamber Member and chiropractor, (at Castle Chiropractic), Andy Schroeder, was recently diagnosed with ALS, which most people know as Lou Gehrig's disease. There is no cure for this rapidly progressing, debilitating disease, but we hope for some kind of miracle for him. Although Andy is still currently working, his symptoms are progressing rapidly and much to his dismay, they will soon render him unable to continue. Once that happens, there is immediate concern that Andy and Teresa's household and medical expenses are paid. In support of Andy and his family, we are planning our 1st Annual Golf Outing and Dinner Fundraiser with a silent auction and raffle on Tuesday, August 23, 2011. The golf fundraiser will be held at Hilldale Golf Club in Hoffman Estates, and dinner will be at Chicago Prime Steakhouse in Schaumburg. For more information on how you can get involved, visit this website.
Congratulations to Porte Brown LLP as they celebrate their 65th anniversary!
