Message of the Day – A Pin

In the category of stuff other people would have thrown away is this charter identification pin from the Woodstock Rotary.

We formed the club while I was McHenry County Treasurer. Woodstock’s city manager asked me to be a part of the formation.

It met in the lower level of the Timbers restaurant at the intersection of Routes 47 and Bypass 14 where Benoy Motors is now located.

One of the projects I was involved with was a revolving loan program for Woodstock students at McHenry County College.

I was disappointed to find out that it no longer exists when I asked MCC officials. I wonder what MCC did with the money.

  1. I think it’s pretty low of you to imply misfeasance on the part of the Rotary Club of Woodstock, a club that still exists and still contributes to charitable purposes, including education, on a very high level. Especially when you don’t have any facts.

  2. Sorry. I wasn’t clear enough in the article and will revise it.

    When I asked McHenry County College whether the loan program was still in existence, I was told it was not. I figured MCC dropped the ball.
