THE COMMUNITY HOUSE WOMAN’S BOARD
The Woman’s Board was formed in 1976 by an enterprising group of women to support the Community House, an entity they considered vital to the unique quality of their community. The Community House has evolved since then, but the fundraising efforts of the Woman’s Board have always stayed constant. The Woman’s Board, which also includes a Junior Board for high school students, is the fundraising arm of the Community House, contributing critical funds to the operating budget each year. The fundraising efforts currently focus on event fundraising, including the esteemed Antiques+Modernism Show, Breakfast with Santa, Wine & Beer Tasting, and a FunRun. Our members are a talented and energetic group of women, who want to support and promote the Community House – and have fun together while doing so. Interested in getting involved? Contact any member of the Woman’s Board listed below.

martialarts
Participants are carefully initiated into karate, which focuses on alertness of mind, self-control, and mental strategies to meet life challenges. Traditional karate is a martial art that emphasizes the principles and applications of weaponless self-defense through the use of total body dynamics and mental discipline. Students will constantly strive for technical excellence and enhancement of one’s character. The following items are optional and will incur additional costs: uniforms, belt tests, and tournaments. Belt Ranking System: There are 11 belt levels (kyu) before first-degree black belt (shodan). A new student is assigned the white belt rank (eleventh kyu). Students must fulfill certain requirements under normal practice conditions and in a test environment to secure progressive promotions up to and including the black belt (dan) levels. When a student has acquired a strong foundation in the fundamentals of karate, he or she can be promoted to the rank of first-degree black belt. Ron Stein Ron Stein is the chief instructor for the Community House Karate Program and has been teaching karate to the community of Winnetka since 1994.

We focus on values and wisdom drawn from many sources, not dogma. As a Unitarian Universalist congregation, we affirm and promote UU’s seven Principles, such as “we accept one another and encourage each individual’s spiritual growth”. Music is another source of spiritual inspiration in our weekly services. And our Religious Explorations program provides children and teens spiritual and cultural literacy.

Community House Winnetka continually strives to reduce such risks, and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been design to protect the participants safety.

I do hereby fully release and discharge the Community House of Winnetka 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.
