The end of Friday here and another interesting day. It started with a trip to the Ela District Library which is an absolutely phenomenal facility! If you have time, visit the website and take the virtual tour http://www.eapl.org/
We again got the tour of every nook and crannie, great descritions of the programmes they offer, and more souviners. They have a number of different study and work spaces, mid-size conference rooms for hire, courtyard reading areas and about 150 computers throughout for free public use! The place employs over 90 staff and has everything for loan from books, magazines, music CD's videos, dvd's, gaming machine games, and much more.
Lake Zurich Rotary Club is our host for the day, and it was their club lunch meeting day where we presented, and had a lot of laughs. They are a relatively young club who are vibrant and enjoy taking the mickey out of each other!
From here it was off to the Foglia YMCA http://www.fogliaymca.org/
Bonnie was out tour guide and we were also joined by a local newspaper who were doing an article on our Rotary Exchange.
The YMCA has a focus on physical activity programmes and again has amazing facilities including an indoor pool, large gym, weights facilities, workout studios, cycling classes, sauna, steam room, circuit classes, indoor high ropes, fixed weight machines, and the list goes on...
The complex is funded out of the Chicago Metropoliton YMCA and also makes good money out of its 16,000, yes 16,000 members from the community.
Ice cream by the lake and then a goodbye to Sector 3 function at a Rotary Past District Governors house befor being transported home.
