This is a great opportunity to get into the holiday spirit, share a meal, and spread some joy.
The Chicago Chapter has been invited to participate in Holiday for Hope, Illinois largest holiday event for homeless and severely at-risk children. The event will be
held this year on December 17th in a downtown location and brings 1,000 children from all over Illinois to a day they will never forget and foster hope for the coming year.
It all began here in Chicago with an organization called Dreams For Kids. Our chapter president, Marty Zei, has volunteered at several of the Dreams For Kids events and he can tell you that Dreams For Kids is a one of kind organization that truly serves children who are too often forgotten. Dreams For Kids believe in “paying it forward”, so the children they help in turn reach out to help others.
This year Marty wants to bring the Chicago Chapter into this community-wide celebration. There are many area businesses and individuals who participate to make the Dreams For Kids event possible and now the Chicago Chapter will be one of the Dreams For Kids supporters. The Chicago Chapter, all 540 strong, can make a great impact. In order for us to do so, we should each invite our co-workers, families and friends to participate. Please reach out to your networks for individual mini toy drives and bring all of the toys collected to our December 13th gathering.

Hope to see you there!

Thank You Craig!
Craig Jarvis, our Chapter President for the last 4 years, has accepted a new position and relocated to Boise, ID. We’re all sorry to see him go and we will miss his genuine affability and sense of humor. But our loss is the Cascade Chapter’s gain.
For more than 10 years Craig has been closely involved in Chapter activities and leadership positions. He was always willing to step up and volunteer for various activities and committees: Golf Outing Chair, Programming Chair, V.P. of Administration, and probably several others. By sheer force of personality, Craig was able to help grow the Chapter membership to a record number despite the current economic downturn.
While Craig’s involvement in the Chicago Chapter is most evident in his efforts to foster networking and educational opportunities, perhaps his most important contribution is his role as a mentor – both at his workplace and within the IoPP. Craig was always willing to assist new packaging engineers which will help to secure the bright future of the packaging industry. He has certainly left his mark on the Chicago Chapter.
We’ll miss you, Craig!
All the best.
