DuPage County Animal Services
Compassionate Care for Animals and Community Support
 
The mission of DuPage County Animal Services is to foster the humane treatment of animals and improve the bond between people and their pets. DCAS aims to achieve this through rescue operations, education initiatives, and comprehensive animal care programs. The vision of the organization is to create a community where all animals are treated with compassion and respect, and where residents understand the importance of responsible pet ownership
 
Chief Judge of the 18th Circuit Court of DuPage County, Bonnie Wheaton, was our special guest speaker this afternoon. Here she is seen with her long time friend, professor and law partner, John Mulherin, Rotary Club of Glen Ellyn rotarian.
The last photo is of Judge Wheaton accepting the gift of a book purchased and dedicated to her at the Glen Ellyn Public Library, by the library Director Dawn Bussey.

It is our pleasure to offer our Community Grant Program for 2024. This year we are focusing our support on a small number of organizations that not only request grant dollars but who can also provide our club with  meaningful hands on service projects. Our grants will range from $4000 -$16,000. The service projects can be a single event or an ongoing activity.

The annual Rotary Mentor Day event with Glenbard West and South High School juniors was a success!  Thank you to all who served as mentors and to Career Vision for providing career consulting for two lucky students! 

Sam Mitrani, Professor of History COD gave a very interesting lesson on "How the World Arrived on Lake Michigan Shores"

He informed us of more than the traditional stories of the inhabitation of our area. One of the best programs of the year.
 
Each year we ask the teaching staff at Glenbard West and Glenbard South to find students that have over achieved or have made great strides to improve. The photo represents the solid, persistent work by these students and their teachers.
