For Woman’s History Month we will enjoy a heart lifting story about a woman, Joal Derse Dauer, and her special dog, Sadie. Joal was donating blankets at a local no-kill shelter when an injured and despondent dog caught her eye. There was something special about Sadie. With patience, hope, and plenty of love, Joal saw her canine companion grow in strength and joy. And before long, she discovered that sweet Sadie had transformed her life in ways she never could have imagined. Saving Sadie is a triumphant story about the power of unconditional love and second chances—for humans and animals alike.

Lunch will include cheese pizza and salad from Kaisers in Gurnee and, of course, dessert.

Registration deadline: March 6, 2025

Doors open at 11:00am. Lunch service begins at 11:30am.
