MAYOR'S COMMUNITY CHARITY BALL

We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to all those who attended the Mayor's Community Charity Ball on November 12, 2005 - who purchased tickets to attend or raffle tickets, designating the ACCI as their organization of choice, and to those who purchased our silent auction items.

A special note of thanks to our members who provided us with items to be used in the silent auction. Thanks to Bloomingdale Golf Club who donated a foursome of golf with carts (2006 season), Hampton Inn & Suites who donated a 2-night stay with breakfasts, Oxford Bank & Trust for the $100 savings bond they donated. Their generosity, and the availability of the ACCI to obtain other items to be offered through non-member contacts and on a consignment basis by Ginger's (Charlestown Mall - 3800 E. Main Street., St. Charles) and KMS, Inc. made it possible for us to offer a very nice variety of items, almost all of which were sold!

Our appreciation also to Mayor Hartwig, for continuing to include the ACCI in this event - which allows 18 local not-for-profit/service organizations to benefit from the proceeds, so that they can continue to do their good works in the community - and to Dorree Krage of the Village of Addison and all the behind-the-scenes people who work so hard to make the event a success!

ANNUAL DECORATION PROGRAM
ANOTHER SUCCESS!

Once again, thanks to our members, the Addison Chamber of Commerce & Industry was well represented with a variety of Holiday decorations, displayed in the Village of Addison Rotunda. Seventeen items were displayed, sixteen of which were donated by their sponsoring company, to be offered in the silent auction during the Addison Community Switchboard Telethon on Sunday, December 11th. More than $500 was raised through the auction - which the Switchboard can use as they assist the needy in our area throughout the year.

So...many thanks to all those who participated:

Addison Public Library
Addison School District #4
