Great Escape: Help the Schools and Your Sanity

Though I love to cook, every mom needs to get out of the kitchen and take the family out for dinner once in a while. Two local establishments are offering fundraiser nights for .

Visit on Tuesdays and on Wednesdays and the restaurants will contribute 15 percent of your bill to District 70 Family Associations. The donations will be distributed evenly between the district schools. The offer will continue until the end of the school year. Coupons can be printed from the District 70 website.

The Libertyville High School Fine Arts Support Team is holding Ticket to Paradise, a special fundraising event. A $15 ticket gets you a reserved seat to the Saturday, Nov. 5, performance of the school’s Once Upon An Island fall musical. You also will be admitted to a dessert reception after the show as well as a silent auction. All proceeds will go to Libertyville High School Fine Arts.

As moms, we often feel guilty when we give ourselves a break. With these events you can get out and help give back.
