As you may know, our beloved building at 161 Northfield Road sustained significant water damage overnight on Thursday, January 30 and into Friday, January 31. Rob Hughes of ABC 7 Chicago has reported on the details. Our building has been a special place for the past 25 years: a place to learn, grow, find support, and forge lasting friendships. The 40,000 square foot roof needs to be replaced—at the cost of more than $1 million. We need you, our community of support, to help us through the challenges ahead so we may continue to be a pillar of this community for the next 25 years and beyond.
