This does not affect my City Club speech. We’re gonna start that on schedule.

* Also, if you’re coming to the City Club thing, make sure to bring a toy. We’re collecting toys for Lutheran Social Services of Illinois’ children’s programs. From Tweed Thornton at the City Club…

Like last year, Lutheran Social Services of Illinois will be on hand before and after the luncheon with Rich Miller to collect wrapped toys for children. The toys should target ages 3-5 and/or individuals can donate gift cards from places where children’s toys are sold.

Lutheran Social Services of Illinois early childhood programs have been in existence for more than 40 years, providing high quality, diverse and culturally sensitive services for children and families in some of Chicago’s most economically disadvantages neighborhoods. LSSI’s mission is to create a stimulating learning environment that promotes social competency and school readiness for preschool age children who are academically and economically at risk.

Please consider donating to them on Wednesday. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Rich - Will LSSI also be accepting cash donations for those of us who might not get the opportunity to hit a toy store before tomorrow?
