Sunshine Packs Its Bookbag

Summer wouldn't be complete if it did not include a block party. Hot dogs...candy...games... prizes... music ... and Mayor Daley Jumping Jack Inflatable House. (Before it was even blown up, the kids had formed a line in expectation.)And...backpacks? Yep, Sunshine coupled the local block party with our back-to-school backpack drive. A variety of brand-new backpacks filled with school supplies were graciously given to us by Willow Creek Commmunity Church in Barrington. Over 100 backpacks were given to area youth, many of them attenders of our Summer Blast Vacation Bible School. So now, I suppose, the summer is complete.
