A Note From Gail,
We survived the 2011 Blizzard! It was spectacular, wasn’t it? I did a lot of cooking, cleaning and reading! Get your picture of your creative snowman to me by Sunday to be considered for the contest!
There are 2 tickets available for Saturday’s Wolves Game and dinner. They’re side by side and just $30 each for a night of fun, food, and festivities!
Send me your news and I’ll put it in my Thursday eblasts at no charge to you!!! That’s what we do!
Warning for businesses! From Gail: I checked with the City. Please be aware that this is not sanctioned by the City and it’s not anything the City or Chamber is sponsoring. It is a solicitation so don’t be fooled if you get this email. I’m not saying there is anything wrong but it’s misleading with this title and you may initially feel it is something the City is doing but they are not:

There will be up to 5,000 exclusive full color 2011 Magnetized City Guide to be

to keep your families safe by having the emergency & important local number

refrigerator. We are only looking for 4 to 8 ads from businesses who understand
and support the fight to keep our families safe in the community.
So be sure to get your exclusive spot on the City Magnetized Information Guide.
Spaces are very limited, so call us to be featured today and thank you for
helping keep our families safe!

Due to the overwhelming positive response we received from offering FREE DELIVERY this past month, we have decided to extend it once again for THE ENTIRE MONTH OF FEBRUARY. This will apply to any catering order of $50.00 or more (before tax). This includes ALL items from our scratch bakery, deli and prepared foods.
FYI - We have started a pizza program, offering our own homemade pizza made fresh daily. We have two sizes available for store purchase and for special orders. (7" and 12"). We offer cheese, pepperoni and sausage. Our 7" is priced at $3.99 and our 12" is priced at $5.99. Two great deals.

Norwood Seniors Network JOIN A WINNING COMMUNITY OUTREACH TEAM OF
MEAL-DELIVERY VOLUNTEERS
To meet the increasing need of older adults who want to remain independent in their homes, Norwood Seniors Network is now preparing to expand its meal-delivery service and is looking for more great volunteers. Those who have given a part of their time one or more days a week are deserving of special thanks, and they are asking you to join them in this rewarding and satisfying experience. The not-for-profit Norwood Seniors Network, at 6009 N. Nina Ave. in Chicago, provides freshly-prepared nutritious meals each weekday for delivery to homes in northwest Chicago or near northwest suburbs by a handful of volunteers who use mapped routes. Each route takes from one-to-two hours to complete. Volunteers bring a bright smile, some cheer and light conversation to persons who may have few if any visitors during the day. Meal deliveries are made between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., Mondays through Friday, and volunteers can assist for one or more days a month.
Persons interested in volunteering must have their own vehicle and insurance. For more information, please call Bryan Manasse, Norwood Life Care Foundation, at (773) 577-5387, email him at bmanasse@norwoodlifecare.org, or visit www.norwoodlifecare.org.
