Greater LaGrange YMCA

For the 18th consecutive year, the Federation will be participating in the LaGrange Community Nurses Association’s Secret Santa program. Since 1988 the programs mission has been to provide functional necessities for children in LaGrange and 15 surrounding communities whose parents have limited means of providing them. This is a great opportunity to share some “Holiday Spirit” with less fortunate children by adopting them for the Christmas season. It couldn’t be easier and you’ll have some fun with your tribe. Simply pick up a bag at the November Longhouse and schedule a shopping trip with your tribe. Inside the bag will be complete instructions with some information on the child and what they need for Christmas. The Christmas Presents that we provide range from warm clothes and school supplies to a few toys. Each adopted child represents $125 to $150 commitment. Last year we were able to help over 220 kids have a little brighter Christmas and this year we can do even better! If you would like to adopt a child for Christmas this year pick up a shopping bag at the November Longhouse. 

 Questions? Call or email Nation Chief Jeff Sides at 630-347-7319 or jasides@sbcglobal.net.

Winter is here and a Trailblazer’s thoughts turn to skiing, snowboarding, or racing each other down the tube runs at Sunburst, www.skisunburst.com in Wisconsin.

Dear Guides and Princesses Families,

We all know that the earthquake in Haiti has devastated their Country and the Mohican Guides would like to offer HELP TO HAITI through the Prairie Trail Federation.

We would like to organize a program through the Haitian Congress to Fortify Haiti and have our Federation families donate some necessary items that Haiti is in great need of.

The Haitian Congress is partnering with UPS in shipping all donated items free of charge to Haiti.  All you would need to do is bring any donated items to the next Longhouse meeting on February 1st and the Mohican Guides will deliver them to the Haitian Congress in Evanston, IL and they would take care of the rest.

Below is a list of the items that the Haitian Congress is requesting to be donated.

This years annual membership drive "The Pow Wow's" are set for 
Wednesday September 9th from 7:00 until 8:00 pm
at the The First United Methodist Church of La Grange, 100 West Cossitt, La Grange, IL.

The Pow Wow's are a great tool to get one of your neighbors, friends or classmates of your children introduced to the PTF Program. There will be crafts, face painting, a light snack and presentation for
all attendees. 

We are also inviting any potential members to join us at our 1st event of the year the
