From the Desk of the Executive Director
PLAY. CREATE. LEARN.
The Community House In 2021 we celebrated a remarkable 80-year history that started when engaged and committed neighbors wanted a place for families to gather for activities. The world has changed since 1941 and The Community House has changed with it but our mission is the same; enriching the lives of the communities we serve through recreation, the arts, community activities and counseling services. We have so many wonderful activities planned in 2022 for all ages in your family but many don’t know also provide programming to the under resourced Willowbrook Corner neighborhood. As an unincorporated, low income neighborhood, they do not have the same opportunities for kids to participate in theater, dance, basketball, flag football or STEM classes. With your help, we can give these families the same feeling you get when you watch your son or daughter play Jodie Harrison Basketball, compete in a chess tournament, or sing on stage. Your gift allows us to focus our social impact efforts on providing equitable access to day care, recreation and arts programming, and vital counseling services to our neighbors in need. All parents want the same things for their families and our work to provide opportunities for the Willowbrook Corner neighborhood is at the heart of our mission. In 2022 we invite you to play, create, and learn with your friends and neighbors. We have entertainment too-the hilarious Community Revue is back in March to bring their light hearted take on life in Hinsdale. We could all use a laugh and there is nothing more entertaining than seeing your friends and neighbors sing, dance, and perform an original musical comedy. Community Revue is warming up the newly dedicated Dick Johnson Stage for when Stage Door Fine Arts brings a cast of talented young performers on stage for All Shook Up and Disney’s Descendants the Musical.
We are planning for a bright and fun filled 2022 and hope to see you at our house!
YOUR TRUSTED COMMUNITY NON-PROFIT SINCE 1941
