Chris Zion

President 2021-2022

Our club president for 2021-2022, Chris Zion, will address the club as we start our new year.

Sunday, October 3rd @ Rockford Rescue Mission, 11:00 AM arrival. 

Volunteers are limited to 10 people again

We will be expecting a crowd of 200! We are honored to hold this event at Rockford Rescue Mission once again.

They are a great local organization and do a ton of good in our community! Their doors are never closed, they are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They start with a hot meal and a safe place to sleep. Their services are designed to serve physical, emotional, spiritual and relational needs by empowering people to move from despair and hopelessness to hope and life-change.

The services they provide are case management, medical, dental, and chiropractic treatment, counceling, life skills classes, spiritual mentoring, educational assessment and support, vocational training, and transition back into society. They offer support programs to help the families of those in recovery as well.

They also serve on average 400-500 meals a day.

Please remember everyone to wear masks and hats. Thank you in advance for your participation and time.

Sam Furman and Billy Giamerese, Co-Chairs

Rockford Police Chief Carla Redd will be presenting. Poinsettia packet pick up.

This event will begin with a chartered bus that will accomodate 25 people for the drive to Joliet, IL at the private Autobahn Country Club. This is not your ordinary golf country club but rather a country club dedicated to racing. They have three courses that include a 1.1 mile road course, a 2.1 mile course as well as a professinal go kart track. Your $250 fee to attend will include;

Round trip accomodations on a private charter

Lunch and beverages on charter (no alcohol allowed on trip there)

Tour of the club facility and introduction to staff

2.1 mile Road Course driving with a high end vehicle

Professional Go Kart racing

Reception after with snacks and cash bar

Return charter trip with stocked beverages

We are asking that the initial registrations be for Cosmo Club members only and if the total of 25 spots are not filled then we will allow non-membership registration. Several of us have had the opportunity to be a part of this experience last year and we all agreed that while not an inexpensive day it will certainly leave you enthused about your participation!    

Poinsettia order early drop off.

All poinsettia orders due.
