Drop Off at Make A Difference Day — Then Drop by the Fall Fest Community Wellness Fair!

This Saturday, October 22nd, after you drop off your donations at Make A Difference Day, make sure you drop by the Fall Fest Community Wellness Fair, co-sponsored by VC partners North Shore Senior Center and New Trier Township.  Make A Difference Day starts at 9am, which leaves plenty of time to treat yourself to a little personal wellness time  at NSSC in Northfield from 10am-1pm.   At this free, all-ages interactive wellness event you can get your flu shot, check your blood pressure, enjoy a chair massage — and entertain your kids with hands on attractions including the always popular Touch-a-Fire Truck.
