TWO CHARITIES NEAR AND DEAR TO OUR HEARTS
St. Joan of Arc Catholic School’s Adopt-A-Student Program
We have been monitoring the increased spread in the ongoing pandemic in the past few weeks. With the well-being of everyone in mind, we have decided that we will be postponing our 2021 Christmas Party that was scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 29 at Quigley’s Irish Pub in Naperville. When we meet again, we will be promoting two charities that are near and dear to our hearts: St. Vincent de Paul and St. Joan of Arc School Adopt-a-Student Fund. In 2019, we raised over $30,000 for these two charities at our Christmas gathering. Thank you to our generous donors for your continued support! Here’s more information about these charities and the great work they do in our community:
All of our children have been blessed to attend St. Joan of Arc School (SJA) in Lisle, and we’d like to give other parents that same opportunity for their children. The Adopt-a-Student Program provides assistance to families to pay tuition. We are proud to step up for SJA and hope you will, too.
If you have any questions, please text me at 312-847-2428.
God bless,

Society of St. Vincent De Paul
St. Vincent de Paul has been “silently” giving to those in need for over 150 years. St. Vincent discreetly aids needy families and visits homes and hospitals to serve those in distress. At our St. Joan of Arc’s St. Vincent de Paul Society, 100% of the money donated goes to needy families.
BUILDING YOUR WINTER CAR EMERGENCY KIT
Assembling an emergency preparedness kit for your vehicle is a must. You can keep it in your car or give it to a younger driver in your household. When you do have to face an emergency, you’ll be glad you have it. These emergency kits often include blankets, bottled drinking water, food, cellphone chargers, flashlights, first- aid kits, basic car repair tools, and more. But if you live in an area with freezing weather (like we do in the Windy City), you should be sure to have an additional winter preparedness kit for colder months. Here are six things we recommend adding to your car emergency kit this winter:
4. Warm hat, socks, and gloves —
Include hand warmer packs for more protection against frostbite.
5. Lock defroster spray — Keep this spray in the glove compartment in case the trunk gets frozen shut with your preparedness kit inside. If you haven’t already, we highly recommend getting a copy of our book, “Be Prepared: Your Ultimate Guide to Common Roadside Emergencies & Safety.” Want a copy to put in your glove compartment? All you have to do is text “PREPARED” to 312-847-2428, and we’ll mail you a free copy — no questions asked.
1. Collapsible shovel
2. Windshield scraper with a small broom
3. Warm blankets or sleeping bag — Wool is best as it keeps you warm even if you get wet.
