Northern Illinois Food Bank
Aug 24, 2022
Northern Illinois Food Bank’s mission is to provide nutritious food and resources for our neighbors, with dignity, equity and convenience through partnerships and innovation with a vision of everyone in Northern Illinois having the food they need to thrive. Since 1983, we have been committed to advocating for and with our neighbors by telling their stories and engaging a diverse community of supporters, who unite in giving their time, donating food and contributing funds to improve access to nutritious meals and increase food security throughout our 13-county service area. Through the collaboration among more than 900 food pantries and programs, dedicated staff, volunteers, and food and fund donors, we provide nutritious food to an average of 375,000 neighbors every month and have distributed 78 million meals in FY22. We continue to engage in this immense and crucial work with compassion, boldness and purpose, along with the understanding that we are all neighbors and when we are each involved, whether we are seeking assistance or offering help, together we will solve hunger. Randi Chambers is a former Middle School Teacher with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Sciences from Northern Illinois University. Randi’s passion for working in the nonprofit world began in 2019 with her full-time volunteer service as an AmeriCorps VISTA with Northern Illinois Food Bank’s Agency Team. There, she helped to assess and assist with capacity building needs for some of the food pantries in the Food Bank’s Southern Region. She served a second VISTA year, joining the Food Bank's Philanthropy Team in April 2020, where she helped to secure funding, met with donors, and presented to groups who were interested in learning more about the Food Bank and how they can engage in the mission. This experience provided a solid foundation for the work that she has been doing since officially joining the Food Bank Team in January 2022 as a Development Officer of Corporate and Foundation Giving, with a focus on grant writing and donor relations.

Lake Bluff Open Lands - A Brief Review
Aug 31, 2022
Formed in 1981, Lake Bluff Open Lands Association’s (“LBOLA”) mission is the protection, preservation, restoration and management of open spaces and natural areas, including wetlands, forests, ravines, beaches, bluffs, prairies, rivers and savannas in and around the Village of Lake Bluff for the benefit of local residents and visitors. LBOLA accomplishes this through the use of established land-management practices, sound conservation techniques and educational activities and the acquisition, maintenance and conservation of such natural areas. In addition, Lake Bluff Open Lands Association holds conservation easements on several parcels of open land in Lake Bluff and monitors compliance with the terms and conditions of the easements to ensure that the properties remain open, healthy and natural. The Lake Bluff Open Lands Association utilizes adult volunteers and paid interns (primarily in the summer) to preserve, protect and restore the open spaces and natural areas in and around Lake Bluff, IL. Workers use chain saws, brush saws and loppers to clear away invasive plants, use herbicides to control re-sprouts and use controlled burning techniques to revitalize the natural seed bed. They also plant new seedlings and grasses to assist in the revitalization of the natural seed bed. The largest portion of the Association’s expenses is for the wages, payroll taxes, workers compensation insurance and medical costs of these primarily high school and college age interns. Additional costs include restoration equipment and maintenance, purchase of herbicides, plants and seeds and the printing and postage costs of newsletter mailings to its donors/members. There is no paid full-time staff and the officers and directors do not receive any compensation for their efforts on behalf of the Association. Also attending with Sue will be, Al Trefts, Treasurer LBOLA and Michele Mrachek, Land Coordinator LBOLA Host: Joe Erkenswick |

Feed My Starving Children
Sep 07, 2022
Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and undernutrition. Hunger is still causing nearly half of deaths in children under 5 years old. From this data, we estimate at least 6,200 children die each day from causes related to undernutrition. This is heartbreaking. Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) believes hope starts with food. As a Christian nonprofit, FMSC is dedicated to seeing every child whole in body and spirit. FMSC works with food distribution partners that stay with communities for the long haul, empowering them to move from relief to development. FMSC meals are developed by food science and nutrition professionals to supplement nutritional needs and reduce problems with malnutrition. Nutrition allows children to grow, thrive and develop to their full potential. Host: Mark Dewart |

Waukegan 2 College
Sep 21, 2022
Aaron Arnold is the Executive Director and Liz Fales is the Director of Development & Community Engagement of Waukegan 2 College (W2C). W2C began in response to an urgent plea from the Waukegan community: “I don’t want my son to be stuck doing landscaping or my daughter working long, hard hours cleaning hotel rooms because they didn't go to college.” These Waukegan parents knew they had neither the experience nor expertise to guide their first-generation college bound children on the pathway to college graduation. The school system was equally inadequate to meet their needs. W2C formed in 2009 as a result of a series of listening sessions in Waukegan churches and other local institutions. The sessions — sponsored by Lake County United — highlighted a universal need and urgent priority to help their sons and daughters get to and through college graduation. From its 2009 launch with 25 students and one staff member, W2C has grown to 170 scholars, a full-time staff of seven, and 100+ volunteers who work as board members, tutors, and mentors.

Lake Bluff Brewing Company
Nov 09, 2022
Mike Dorneker, Lake Bluff Brewing Company's brewer and owner, is a rare talent. He left his job as an IT administrator more than twelve years ago to attend the country's oldest commercial brewing school, Siebel Institute of Technology in Chicago, to pursue his dream of doing what he loves. We, here at LBBC, are confident that his beer is second to none. His recipes are top-notch, because everything is personally hand-crafted, and he uses only the best, freshest, local ingredients. Mike is a man of few words, but anyone who has ever had his beer knows that it is truly something special. He has made a deliberate choice to keep everything in-house and local to ensure the quality remains extremely high. He is equal parts artist and mad-scientist. Anytime he enters a competition, his beer tends to win, including multiple national awards at the U.S. Beer Open. Host: Drew Irvin |

College Athletics: How to Get There and What to Expect
Dec 21, 2022
There are many mysteries surrounding college athletics. How good do your grades need to be to get looked at by college coaches? What should my stats look like to be recruited? What are the differences between divisions? From starting the recruiting process to getting there and trying to figure out how to balance sports, academics, other extracurriculars, and a social life, the whole process of college athletics is undeniably daunting. I will address these topics as well as touch on my experience and what I learned from playing a college sport. My name is Audrey Kaus and I’m 22 years old. I graduated early from the University of Chicago in March of 2022 with a double major in Business-Economics and Spanish, while playing on the varsity women’s lacrosse team for four years and being captain for two. I went to LFHS and graduated in 2018, while there I played varsity basketball and varsity lacrosse for four years and was in leadership positions for both teams. I currently live in NYC and work for JP Morgan. Host: Jayson Kaus

Role of a Lifetime
Jan 11, 2023
From LF-LB Patch on Oct 31, 2022. Larry Farmer experienced great collegiate success as a member of the three-time NCAA national champion UCLA Bruins basketball team coached by the legendary John Wooden in the early 1970s. During Farmer’s years at UCLA, the Bruins had an 89-1 record. Next, he was drafted by the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers and the ABA (at the time) Denver Nuggets before concluding his professional playing career in Germany. There, he transitioned to the sidelines setting the stage for a nearly 40-year coaching career at both the NBA (Golden State Warriors assistant) and collegiate levels. Farmer returned to his alma mater, UCLA, as its head basketball coach. He also served as head coach at Weber State and Loyola University/Chicago as well as an assistant coach at the University of Hawaii, North Carolina State and Western Michigan. But when Farmer decided to retire to spend more time with family, his lifelong dream to coach high school basketball remained unfulfilled. That dream has now come true as Farmer assumes leadership of the Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart basketball program this season. And Interim Athletic Director Sierra Leigh says the all-girls college-prep high school in Lake Forest could not be more excited to have him there. “Coach Farmer brings a philosophy that I have carried on through my years of coaching that I truly believe our student-athletes will strive and grow with,” Leigh said. “His personality shaped by his journey, willingness for opportunity, and understanding of the Sacred Heart have brought him into our organization with open arms. He exemplifies many qualities and will be a shining light for the entire Woodlands Academy community as we look forward to a very exciting 2022-23 basketball season.” Farmer, who currently resides in Gurnee, says he is excited about this opportunity to coach at the high school level and can’t wait to start the season. “There is a level of enthusiasm and excitement surrounding Woodlands’ program that definitely got my attention,” he added. Woodlands Academy is a member of the Independent School League, an Illinois High School Association affiliate comprising nine Chicago area private secondary schools. In addition to his new coaching duties at Woodlands Academy, Farmer has kept busy during retirement writing a book titled “Role of A Lifetime,” due to be released Feb. 21, 2023. Host: Jerry Kelly |
