Thank You for a Successful Taste of DeKalb Rotary Event!
The Taste of DeKalb hosted by the Kishwaukee Sunrise Rotary Club recently held on September 23 was a great success! The members of the Kishwaukee Sunrise Rotary extend their gratitude to the community for supporting this fun, family-friendly event at Van Buer Plaza in Downtown DeKalb immediately following the Corn Classic 10K Race. The proceeds from this event went directly to support the Rotary’s Community Grant for Children, Youth, and Families. Grant funds are distributed to local organizations that have projects which positively impact the lives and well-being of children, youth, and families. This year’s grant recipients include the DeKalb Library, Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois, and Hope Haven.
Our appreciation is extended to the City of DeKalb, the Corn Classic Race committee, and the food vendors including Fatty’s, Ninas Tacos, Betty Jeans Soul Food, Sycamore Country Store and Catering, Sweet Dreams, Greek Orthodox Church, John Pappas, Ellwood Steakhouse, and DeKalb Tom and Jerry’s who helped make the event possible.
We also appreciate the entertainers including; Reilly Farrell, The Ukulele Orchestra, the DeKalb High School Dance Team, the DeKalb High School Jazz Combo and Behind the Beat’s Productions; as well as, Magic Matt and the Youth Services Bureau for providing fun activities for the children.
