THE 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 the Community House, watched movies in Matz Hall on Friday evenings and congregated during after-school hours at the bowling alley. Over the years, the landscape of the Community House has changed, but the fundraising efforts of the Woman’s Board have always stayed constant. Today, 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. Our members are a multi-generational group of women, working together to support and promote the Community House. Interested in getting involved?

martial arts

Celebrating over 30 years at the Community House!

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. Frank Chrzanowski, the chief instructor, developed the Traditional Karate Program for the Winnetka Community House in 1989. He has trained in karate since 1975 and has attained the rank of fourth-degree black belt in the Japan Karate Association. He has been featured in articles in the Chicago Tribune, the Sun-Times, and the Pioneer Press, and has appeared on local and national television programs.

Ron Stein has trained in karate since 1981. His karate experience extends to Europe and Japan, where he lived for four years, training under many instructors and studying various Japanese martial arts. He has been with the Community House Karate Program since 1994.

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. Please recognize that the Community House of Winnetka 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 the Community House of Winnetka automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses.
