Woman’s Board Woman’s Board The Woman’s Board was formed in 1976 by an enterprising group of women to support the entity they considered vital to the unique quality of their community. Their children had spent Saturday afternoons playing ball in the gym of WCH, watched movies in Matz Hall on Friday evenings and congregated during after-school hours at the bowling alley. Bridge groups, armchair travel lectures and theatre offerings all found a home through the years at the Gothic-style building located at Pine Street and Lincoln in Winnetka.

Winnetka Community House receives no tax dollar support. Eighty-five percent of the funds raised by the Woman’s Board go directly to the operating budget of the Community House, with the remainder earmarked for special projects and needs. These funds, along with generous and ongoing support from local businesses and residents, have helped to grow and sustain Winnetka Community House—one of the only institutions of its kind in the United States.

Our members are a multigenerational group of women, working together to support and promote Winnetka Community House. We work in a team environment with many opportunities for individual contributions. Members of the Woman’s Board are unofficial “ambassadors” for Winnetka Community House. Members are encouraged to attend and participate in events sponsored by the Woman’s Board, such as the Antiques + Modernism Winnetka Preview Party and other member social events and to volunteer when possible as additional “womanpower” is needed.

Added patio furniture allows visitors to enjoy this renewed space throughout the summer.

Staff is working in centralized updated offices in Room 103.

WCH employees can now collaborate more freely and work more efficiently in upgraded office space. The room was remodeled to include a staff kitchen/copy room, meeting

room, and new work areas. Shared equipment enables more efficient operations, freeing

up former staff offices are for fitness programming and additional rental space to meet the needs of our users.

A new staff parking lot has been installed off Lincoln Ave. Much-needed additional parking for staff has been added on the former site of Champion

House, which had reached the end of its useful life. This lot alleviates congestion in the Pine Street lot and frees up more public parking for our guests. A long range planning process will determine the permanent use of this property.

We thank each of our supporters for enabling progress at Winnetka Community House!

Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Two, three, or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid-1960s as a children's backyard pastime but has become popular among adults as well.

Not for Profit Partners JUNIOR LEAGUE OF EVANSTON-NORTH SHORE

THE WINNETKA CLUB

(847) 441-0995 www.jle-ns.org jle-ns@sbcglobal.net The Junior League of Evanston-North Shore, Inc. is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

Each year, League members commit thousands of volunteer hours to improving our community. In particular, the focus of our organization is on Advancing Employment and Supporting Families for those in need across Chicago’s North Suburbs. Founded in 1924 as the Junior League of Evanston, JLE-NS now has approximately 350 Active and Sustaining members. We reach out to all women regardless of age, race, religion, ethnic or national origin who demonstrate an interest in and commitment to voluntarism.

The many important community projects that we support are made possible through fundraising events like our Designer Kitchens of the North Shore Kitchen Tour and Trivia Night, and our award-winning cookbook “It’s A Shore Thing”. In addition, for the past 75 years we have operated our Thrift House, a resale shop located at 920 Chicago Avenue in Evanston.

www.thewinnetkaclub.com 847-446-1830 Since our early beginnings in 1908, The Winnetka Club has been an integral part of the civic and philanthropic life of the North Shore Community. The services and support provided by the Club have changed with the demands of the times, and we continue our tradition of “giving back” as we celebrate our 110th anniversary in 2018.

During World War I, service projects in support of civilian efforts were the focus. During the years of World War II and beyond, members have been instrumental in ensuring home delivery of mail and providing other needed services – as well as organizing the PTA and League of Women Voters in Winnetka.

Each May, we host our annual Housewalk, featuring amazing homes around the NorthShore; proceeds from the Housewalk support our annual scholarships to graduating seniors who live in New Trier Township. The Club also supports many other philanthropic endeavors throughout the North Shore and Chicago community.

We welcome new members as we look to grow and expand our reach.

We host a monthly Book Club and offer many other social and cultural events for our membership, including monthly Friendraiser dinners in local restaurants, engaging lectures and activities, and other membership events to enrich and empower.

Classes in drawing, painting (oil, acrylic, and watercolor), pastels, etching, printmaking, figure study, encaustic and more are taught by a distinguished faculty–offering a unique, creative experience.

Winnetka Community House is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible, and holds the safety of the participants in the highest possible regard.

Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. Winnetka Community House continually strives to reduce such risks, and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participants’ safety. Please recognize that Winnetka Community House does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering himself\herself or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review his/her own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make Winnetka Community House automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses. Due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining liability insurance, the agency providing liability coverage for Winnetka Community House requires the execution of the following Waiver and Release. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please read this form carefully, and be aware in participating in the program(s) listed on this page, you will be waiving and releasing all claims for injuries you might sustain arising out of the activities of this program.

WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAI M S As a participant in the program, I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury, and I agree to assume the full risk of any injuries, including death, damages or loss, regardless of severity, which I may sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with or associated with such program. I agree to waive and relinquish all claims I may have as a result of participating in the program against Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees. I do hereby fully release and discharge Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damages or loss which I may have or which may accrue to me on account of my participation.

I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damages or losses sustained by me or arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with the activities of the program. In the event of emergency, I authorize Winnetka Community House officials to secure from any licensed hospital, physician, and/or medical personnel any treatment deemed necessary for my immediate care, and agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services required. All participants agree that any photography taken while participating in a class, special event or use of a facility may be used for promotional purposes Winnetka Community House. Participants agree to receive emails from Winnetka Community House.

REFUND AND PRORATE INFORMATI ON Full refunds will be issued for courses that are cancelled by Winnetka Community House due to insufficient registration. A refund, less a 10% service charge (not to exceed $25), may be granted if the refund request is received five full working days prior to the start of the program. No refunds will be allowed after this time unless a medical condition develops and a written explanation from a physician on his/her letterhead is presented. Due to advanced reservation requirements, no refunds for trips, outings, or special events will be given. Classes may be prorated if you would like to enroll in a class after it has started, provided the instructor has space, and allows for late registration. The supervisor must approve the prorated amount.

Please list any specific medical allergies, medications, chronic illness or other conditions which staff should be aware of:
