 3    Representatives  wish  to  acknowledge the Winnetka Community
 4    House on the occasion of  its  celebration  of  90  years  of
 5    service to its community; and


 6        WHEREAS, The Winnetka Community House was the idea of the
 7    Rev. J.W.F. Davies, who wanted to provide the young people of
 8    the  community with activities that would enrich their lives;
 9    Rev. Davies' idea was to become the first community center in
10    the United States designated solely for  community  purposes;
11    and

12        WHEREAS,  Since  1911,  the  Winnetka Community House has
13    been   a   gathering   place    facilitating    conversation,
14    volunteerism,   and  harmony  throughout  the  community;  it
15    enriches  the  lives  of  North  Shore  residents  and  their
16    families  and  friends  by  providing  diverse   educational,
17    cultural,  social,  and recreational opportunities for people
18    of all ages; and

19         WHEREAS, The Winnetka Community House, despite the Great
20    Depression, numerous wars, and a fire that destroyed most  of
21    the  original  building,  has  never relied on tax dollars to
22    support its operations; and

23        WHEREAS, The  Winnetka  Community  House  holds  precious
24    memories  of  the  lives  of  countless North Shore Residents
25    while looking forward to  continuing  community  service  for
26    future generations; therefore, be it

27        RESOLVED,   BY   THE  HOUSE  OF  REPRESENTATIVES  OF  THE
28    NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
29    we declare December 1, 2001 as Winnetka Community  House  Day
30    in the State of Illinois; and be it further
