Due to the Covid epidemic, the Council for the second year was unable to have its Toys for Tots Gala so a fundraising appeal was conducted
which generated the donated funds.

The USS Illinois (SSN 786) submarine home-based in Pearl Harbor, will be deploying shortly. The 786 Club is supplying half way gift boxes for the single sailors on
board. Married sailors families provide gift boxes for their sailors, so the Club wanted to make sure the single sailors also are provided gift boxes half way through
the deployment.
Cheryl Haugen, a Glenview Council member, has been working with the children from St. John's Lutheran School, LaGrange, IL crafting ditty bags made with University of
Illinois logo material, and recently shipped 75 bags to be included in the half way boxes for the single sailors.
The sailors really appreciate being remembered by the home folks while they are out to sea, so the Council participated in this 786 Club project.
