Please join the Godfellas in their semi-annual Route 120 Clean Up Project on Saturday May 2nd at 9:00 am. We gather in the parking lot of Joy! and divide into 4 teams to pick up litter along Rte 120 helping beautify God's Kingdom. The project usually takes 2 hours. It's great exercise and shows community pride.  Any questions, please contact Gary Koehler at 847-650-9242 or garypkoehler@yahoo.com.
