Upcoming Events- 2021

​Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events raise money for the American Cancer Society’s efforts to save lives from breast cancer and raise awareness about breast cancer prevention. We will be organizing a group to walk the new route in Northbrook. It is a well run event and an easy way to support this great cause. Plus we always have a nice time walking together! Please use the link below to sign up and get all the details. If you cannot attend the walk, please consider donating on our team page to such a worthy cause!

Past events

September General Meeting: WineStyles           Thursday, Sept. 9th at 7:30 p.m.

This meeting was held on Thursday, Sept 9 at 7:30pm, a wine tasting at WineStyles in Norwood Park - always a group favorite! We will have a private room and 6 wines to sample. The cost per person will be $15 and you can pay at the event. If you are not a wine drinker (like me) you can still come and enjoy the company (no fee). Keep your eye out for an Evite later this week. Please RSVP as we will need to give them a definite number of attendees. Will be a fun night! Hope to see you there & bring a friend! 

August General Meeting: Margarita Party!            Friday, Aug. 20th at 7:30 p.m.

This was a meeting not to miss! Come join fellow PRCW members and friends as we toast the end of summer and share stories of our summer adventures. This year we are moving the meeting to a Friday night, August 20th so save the date! The Board will be providing appetizers and margaritas. We encourage you to bring a friend to introduce them to our group!  


July Concert in the Park is back!                   7/30 at 6:30 p.m.  

Please come join us for our Annual Fundraiser on Friday, July 30th in Hodges Park. We will be selling raffle tickets to concert-goers for themed gift baskets to benefit the Park Ridge Fine Arts Society. Thanks to generous donations from members and businesses, we have several baskets and we just need members to sell raffle tickets that night. Please sign up for a shift using the link below.
 
 
Look for our pink balloons and our special roped off area for PRCW members and friends. Wear pink if you can! Bring some friends, help sell tickets, and enjoy a great night together.

​Time to kick off summer with our annual Salad Supper--in person! Please join us at the home of Debbie W. on Thursday, June 17th at 7:00pm - always a great turnout with some delicious food! Please bring either a salad or your favorite appetizer to share and if you choose, a beverage of your choice. If you are pressed for time and cannot make something - pick up a quick sweet treat to bring!
