Exchange Club of Grayslake Hometown Hero

Each quarter, the Exchange Club of Grayslake will recognize one of our own who is serving our country through the military. If deployed, we will send a care package loaded with goodies and notes of appreciation. If the military member is married, we will also try to send a card of encouragement to the spouse. If the member is not deployed, or if there is a local family that we can contact, we will invite them to attend our luncheon as our guest and be presented with a plaque honoring their service.
If you’d like to contribute the box, you can bring items to Whitney Street Restaurant on Thursday's from 12-1.
