JLE-NS Toys for Tots Collection Deadline
JLE-NS is holding a donation drive for the Toys for Tots program this holiday season. Toys for Tots is a program started in 1947 and run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. 97% of the donation goes directly to the mission providing books, toys, and other gifts to less fortunate families.
Please help support this important program by dropping off your donations of new and unwrapped toys to the following locations: JLE-NS Office, 620 Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka, JLE-NS Thrift House store, 920 Chicago Avenue in Evanston, or Central Station Coffee & Tea, 1150 Central Avenue in Wilmette. We will be collecting donations through December 15th.
If you would prefer to make a monetary donation, please scan the QR code or go to: https://www.jle-ns.org/system/donate_summary and select “JLE-NS Donation” and in the comments section, write “Toys for Tots” and JLE-NS will present the U.S. Marine Corps with a check at the end of our donation drive.

JLE-NS Ladies who Lunch
Hello Ladies!
It’s that time of year again and back by popular demand is “Ladies who Lunch” with your JLE-NS peers. This is a chance to step away from our daily routine to make new friends and/or try a new restaurant in the Evanston – North Shore neighborhoods. I have chosen Spirit Elephant (space is limited and is first come, first serve) for our first place, however I welcome any recommendations for our future lunches. So bring your good cheer, your appetite and if you want, of course bring a friend! I hope to see you there!
*Each member will be responsible for their meal, so please bring cash to make it easier.
**Last day to RSVP 9/20 – This is to ensure accommodations.
