Dear editor;
The Aurora Navy League Council 247 will hold its Tuesday, Oct. 17 dinner meeting in the private room of the Riverview Diner, IL-25 and Mill Street, Montgomery.
A reception will begin promptly at 5 p.m. followed by a meeting at 5:30 p.m. with dinner afterward. The cost is $25 all-inclusive if an entree is ordered, or $20 for the dinner salad featured that evening. Free entry will be allowed without eating food. The meeting will conclude no later than 8 p.m..
The after-dinner speaker is Madeline Zehnal whose topic is Spring break aboard the Navy Carrier USS Carl Vinson – A high school special education teachers trip of a lifetime. A chance to learn about the technical side of the Navy.
You do not need to be a member of the Navy League, or have a reservation, to attend the in-person meeting. The general public is welcome.
This year is Madeline Zehnal’s seventh teaching at Naperville North High School. She was graduated with an undergraduate degree in special education from Western Illinois University (Go Leathernecks!) and received her master’s degree in educational leadership from North Central College. She is working on a doctorate in educational leadership – coaching and mentoring. In conjunction with teaching she coaches three sports at Naperville North: Girls and boys swim and freshman boys’ volleyball.
All are invited to this event. Only those who order a meal are required to pay for the meal. Others may attend at no-charge.
The Aurora Council is having a membership drive, and will pay half of the first year’s dues for new members. This is an excellent opportunity to attend an interesting event, and determine whether you would like to join permanently.
Leonard R. Wass, Oswego
