FoodStock This Weekend!
Foodstock  is June 24th on the Village Green in Lake Bluff from 4 pm to 7 pm.  The Housewreckers and our own Good On Sunday Band will be providing live music in the Gazebo. This is all to support COOL ministries who do great work feeding the hungry and providing transitional housing for those in need. We’ll have burgers by Meatheads and ice cream by Suzy's Swirl available. If you choose to donate you’ll be entered to win some great prizes donated by local merchants or you might like to empty your pantry of non-perishable food items and bring them along. The Food Pantry truck will be parked on Scranton and ready to be filled! - Ken

A number of folks from our Church are very involved in Allendale - we thought you'd be interested in this upcoming event...please know the RSVP date has been extended to Tuesday, June 26
Net Gain is a basketball game and cultural exchange between Lake Forest High School & Orr Academy in Chicago. At our first event last summer we raised over $30,000 in support of the Orr athletic program. The student athletes and their families also shared meals together - it was a slam dunk! This year, the program is expanding, as Net Gain will also include historic rivals New Trier playing Marshall. Whether you love hoops, want to support an event bringing young people from divergent social, racial, and economic backgrounds together - or BOTH - join us at Lake Forest High School on Monday, July 2nd . NT vs. Marshall begins at noon and LFHS vs. Orr - who won the State AA championship this year - follows immediately. The games are free but we will enthusiastically receive donations! And, if you'd like to help out, check the Net Gain website HERE .

Ken Hall's Weekend Music World

FOODSTOCK FOODSTOCK FOODSTOCK
THIS SUNDAY FROM 4 TO 7 PM!

Thursday: King Robinson and t he Housewreckers, featuring Blues Dudes Mike & Rob, along with Bruce Williams, Eric VanDuyne, Marty Willis and more will be playing live at 210 Restaurant & Live Music Lounge in Highwood. Music starts at 7 pm.  

Friday : Quintet! Jazz & Spoken Word. Head on over to our friends at The Family Piano Co. to check this out! Quintet is a Chicago jazz supergroup combining Bob Long’s inventive and inviting piano, Al Day’s expressive, gravelly vocals and emotional guitar musings, Doug Lofstrom’s smooth bass, and this time Mike Levin’s smoldering saxophone, with the recent addition of Marc Smith’s evocative poetry. Smith created and has been hosting the weekly Poetry Slam at The Green Mill in Chicago for 35 years. They are known for creating an atmosphere that can be compared to the jazz clubs of the mid-20th century. They’ll share with you some secrets about how to make a jazz piece your own while still respecting the integrity of the original music, and also how to invent your own music using jazz elements. Tickets $10 advance, $12 door.

Saturday : Suede, Dave and Lynette! Celebrate the official start of summer with fantastic music and delicious food at Primo Italian American Cuisine, 720 Milwaukee Ave. in Gurnee, 7:30-10:30. You’ll be treated to a lively mix of covers and originals while dining in a beautiful room with attentive service. Best to make reservations and ask to be seated near the music so you don’t get stuck way in the back. Hope to see you there!
