Feel Safe and Back Up with Carbonite
|  You know our organization and you know how much we have on our computers - We wouldn't know what to do if we lost it all. So to protect our files, we back up everything with Carbonite. It's safe, affordable and it continually backs up new photos, documents, business files and more. We pay less than a months worth of lattes to know we will never lose a document. Best thing I have found that that we can even access documents on our desktop from our smart phones!! Click the link below to see pricing and how it can work for your business or home computers. Tell them the West Ridge Chamber of Commerce sent you!
Sign up for Carbonite NOW!

| News from the North Town Garden Society |
Our October meeting will be held on Thursday,October 2nd, at 7:00 P.M. at Warren Park Field House, 6601 N. Western Ave.
We have a Double this month!
Doug Wood, who led the tour of Wicker Park last month, has graciously agreed to do a presentation on Bulb Planting. He will show slides that will cover technique, types of bulbs, and incorporating bulbs into your existing landscape, based on what is around it and what time of light and timing you have going on.
Since September is the perfect time to divide perennials, we will also have a Plant Exchange. We are asking members to pot up their perennials and bring them in to swap.
This event is open to the public and a $5.00 donation is requested from non-NGS members.
