Associate Membership Outings and Events with Gather and Grow

We are working to incorporate multiple opportunities for some outward heart steering! From blessing nursing home residents to being helping hands at local food banks to participation in Veteran care service, all meant to help little hearts grow in community care.  Could be a variety of days/times depending on location, availability and need.

We are building opportunities for the children to be active and have opportunity for engaging with a multitude of different sports.  Sweaty kids are happy kids!  Additional venue costs may apply.

This will be organized group outings to local or Chicago based venues providing members a time of group fun while visiting some of the well known and loved favorites.  Some additional venue costs may apply.

Children will have access to optional safety oriented outings with potentials like first aid, fire safety, CPR training.  Additional costs may apply.

This will be a broad range of possible outings throughout the term, with options like guided hikes, outings designed to grow in knowledge of animals, learning to make and use herbal remedies, etc.  Focus is supporting our children's connection to and fostering care of our natural world.  These could be any variety of days/times/locations.

These outings will just be a pile of fun! The design is simply to bring the community together, building lasting friendships while taking home sweet memories.  Events may be things like dances, celebrations, games, puzzles, library gatherings or park play-dates.
