Sandra,
I think starting a few rides at Gillson is an excellent idea, to increase visibility and familiarity.

Very surprised to hear about these unexpected changes. Maybe we should consider using Gillson Park as a starting point for some of our rides to start building more invisibility in the
Wilmette community.

Attached as a pdf file is the June 2024 EBC newsletter, which at pp 7-8 contains a report on the funds given away from the 2023 North Shore Century - a total of $50,000. Each spring, the club endeavors to donate about 80% of the net proceeds from the previous year’s event. In doing so, the Board acts on recommendations from the club’s Donations & Grants Committee. Beginning in 2025, the Committee will be chaired by Alvin Spector.

The article did not mention that we give much of the proceeds away. I commented to that effect at the end, but I didn’t have a clue as to the percentage of net we grant to not-for-profits. I saw something about 80% of net — but is that net or gross?
Does anyone know how much we gave away last go around? And who were a few of the recipients? I feel a lot of members are as much in the dark about this as I am.
