Sen. Murphy to host College Prep 101 for area families |
|
Over the next couple months, local college-bound high
school students and their families have the opportunity to take advantage of
free college prep workshops being sponsored by State Sen. Matt
Murphy.
Presenters from the Illinois Student Assistance
Commission will be on hand to give students and parents information on financing
college, career exploration, college selection, test preparation and scholarship
searches.
 “Finding
the right college can be challenging for students,” Murphy said. “We are setting
up these workshops to get as much information out there as possible to help
students and their families pick a school that’s best for them. I encourage high
school students and family members interested in investing in a higher education
to attend this free event.”
Two workshops have been set up throughout the district
–
- Sept. 8, 6:45 to 8:45 pm – Palatine Public
Library; 700 N. North Court
- Sept. 22, 6:45 to 8:45 pm – Mt. Prospect Public
Library; 10 S. Emerson Street
Space will be limited, so please RSVP by calling Sen.
Murphy’s office at 847-776-1490 right away!

aid and other higher education-related matters, visit the Illinois Student
Assistance Commission’s Web site at www.collegezone.com. |

Palatine WINGS Needs Your Help |
|
Following the tragic loss of the Women in Need Growing Stronger (WINGS) resale shop in Palatine, my office is assisting in the efforts to restock and open a new location.
A fire was started by the June 18 storms that passed through suburban Cook County and as a result the WINGS resale shop was destroyed. I would ask area residents to consider giving a monetary or clothing article donation to the store as a way of helping the WINGS fund for programs and shelters. 
The former WINGS location was at 756 E. Northwest Highway in Palatine. For more information about WINGS, visit their Web site at www.wingsprogram.com.
If you have questions about the organization or donations, please contact WINGS at 847-519-7820. Donations are being accepted daily at a drop off located at 345 North Eric Drive, Palatine.
I am the chair of the Northwest Suburban Alliance on Domestic Violence, an organization whose mission is to raise awareness on preventing domestic violence. For more information about NWSADV, visit www.endallabuse.org.
