REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DREAMER’S BREAKFAST

Dear Potential Sponsor, It is with great excitement and anticipation that we are preparing for our 18th Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dreamers Breakfast, January 20, 2020.

Over the past several years, it has been our goal to honor individuals within our community for their outstanding service in faith, business and public life.

Over the years this Dreamers’ Breakfast has proven to be extremely well attended by business, civic, community leaders and individual citizens within Lake County and its surrounding community. This breakfast gives us all a chance to reflect on the historic and monumental legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It is our desire to keep Dr. King’s dream alive by remembering our past and looking forward to our many accomplishments yet to be fulfilled as a nation, community, within our religious places of worship and within our families.

On Monday, January 20, 2020, Waukegan Township and its’ Senior Services Committee will hold its 18th Annual Breakfast at Lakehurst Banquets, 300 Lakehurst Road, Waukegan, IL 60085; Reception: 9:00 am followed by breakfast and program 10 – 12 noon. The proceeds from this event are used to assist the Senior Citizens Services Committee while supporting the programs offered at our Waukegan Township Park Place (414 S. Lewis Avenue, Waukegan, IL). We are asking for your financial support through various levels of sponsorship; Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Details and prices regarding sponsorship are outlined on the following pages of this booklet.
