It's not on Earth Day proper, but The Conservation Foundation will hold its annual Earth Day Benefit Dinner from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Bobak's Signature Events in Woodridge.
Dinner-goers will eat a great meal, take part in a silent auction and see the 2009 video focused the foundation's volunteers. My parents have donated items to this before (and will again this year, I believe) and come home with some amazing things, like a huge, gorgeous rug I'm still coveting.
Individual tickets are $100 each.
Register online or call Carrie Thompson at 630-428-4500 x10 or email cthompson@theconservationfoundation.org for more information.
The Conservation Foundation, which is in the Will County portion of Naperville, educates the public about conserving our land and water and actually helps land owners and forest preserve districts preserve land from development. (They're also the source of some great rain barrels. Check it out.)
Julie Todd is the night editor at The Herald News in Joliet. She and her
husband are looking to cut the chemicals and get back to basics -- minus the
granola and hemp clothing. They live in a home they bought last year in
Plainfield, where they're making changes to create their own little patch of
utopia.
