The following press release has been received:

The McHenry County Mental Health Court Task Force is pleased to announce that they have received, on behalf of the McHenry County Mental Health Court a $300 donation from the Mental Health Resource League for McHenry County. These funds will be used to assist the court in meeting the needs of the participants of the McHenry County Mental Health Court, which has been operating for over a year.

The Mental Health Court began with 3 individual members at its inception. Currently there are 25 individuals involved in the court with additional participants seeking admission to the court system. The McHenry County Mental Health Court Task Force has also recently benefited from the contribution of property from McHenry Villa to a few individual participants who were in need of furnishings. In the difficult economic times that we face today, contributions like these are helpful to the continued success of participants in the McHenry County Mental Health Court.

We extend our sincere thanks to both McHenry Villa and the Mental Health Resource League for McHenry County for their contributions, as they are as greatly needed and appreciated.

For more information contact McHenry County Mental Health Court in care of McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office at 815-334-4159.

The group making the donation is best known for Fair Diddly and Fall Diddly.

Parking is Free and admission is $6.00 for ages 12 and over. Tickets are available in advance for groups of 25 or more for $5 each. Contact MHRL for more information.

The fairgrounds are located on Illinois Rt. 76 just North of Business Rt. 20 in Belvidere. For more directions, visit the Fairgrounds Website at www.boonecountyfair.com.
