American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer sponsored by Palos Community Hospital. Families and friends across the Palos Heights/Palos Hills/Palos Park communities will unite in their fight against breast cancer during the American Cancer Society’s inaugural Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on Saturday, May 19th starting at 8:00 a.m. at Trinity Christian College/Bootsma Bookstore Café then through the Navajo Heights neighborhood. For more information about the Palos Heights Making Strides event, call Michelle Pruitt at 708-633-7770 option 3 or visit www.makingstridespalosheights.com.
Making Strides is a noncompetitive walk supporting the American Cancer Society’s unique mission to help people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; help people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight.

Hello Chamber Members!
Well 2012 is off to a great start! We have some new director’s on our board and we also have a new committee! It seems fitting to announce it now, as we have just celebrated Earth Day. Gareth Blakesly from Lake Katherine has created the Green Committee that will focus on education and encouragement of environmentally conscious practices and activities. If anyone is interested in volunteering for this committee please email me (arichards@regionalpublishing.com) or contact Nickie at the chamber.
I’d like to thank everyone for coming out to our April luncheon at Shepard where we learned about all the classes offered to students to ready them for careers in our organizations. It was a wonderful time and thank you Principal Barron for hosting us again this year.
Please make sure to mark your calendars for our upcoming Health and Community Expo on May 5 at Moraine Valley Church. There are less than 10 spots left for people who would like to have a booth at the Expo so act fast.
Also remember to attend our annual Golf Outing that will be held on June 7 at Water’s Edge Golf course. I look forward to seeing all of you there!
Amy Richards
President, Palos Area Chamber of Commerce
