This weekend is all about making a difference.
Donate cans of food and enjoy a fun (yes, fun!) workout in Northbrook, support House in the Wood Camp and play paddle tennis in Glencoe, and package meals for Nicaraguan children in Winnetka.
Then, spend some time in the city at the ballet or at an educational party to celebrate the Philippines.
