The annual Community of Character Walk has enjoyed great success! The Zion Police Department and the Zion Park District are pleased to announce that the 6th Annual Community of Character Walk will take place on Thursday, 9/12/2019, at 6:00 pm.

The 6th Annual Zion Community of Character Walk is, once again, an opportunity to:

Celebrate all the good things happening in Zion!
Come together as a community in support of Zion!
Meet neighbors and make new friends with people who are also working to make Zion a better place!

The walk will start at the Bandshell next to the Zion Park District Leisure Center. Participants will then walk west approximately 5-6 blocks to the Zion Police Department. There will be space for each organization, business, group to place displays, literature, banners, etc. to explain who they are, what they do and what they provide in the community. If possible, try to wear matching T-shirts or something else to help people identify your group. This is a FREE event!
Walk Instructions
Walkers will meet at the Bandshell next to the Zion Park District Leisure Center.
The walk will proceed west around Dowie Memorial Drive, cross Gabriel Avenue, and continue west to Gilead Avenue. The walk will be led by a police squad car. There will be road closures and Community Service Officers and/or ESDA personnel to insure the safety of all participants.
Participating organizations/groups/clubs/business will be setting up booths/tables in the 2200 block of Salem Boulevard. Below is a map for your convenience. Booths/tables should be set up on the North & South edges of the grass boulevard. This will allow room for some performances during the event.
Each group is responsible to bring their own booth/table. Please provide literature that explains what you do in and for the community. Booths/tables may be set up as early as 4:30 pm on 9/12/19.
Police Officers and Community Service Officers will be present to assist you and to watch over your booth/table while you participate in the walk. Please make sure that you have secured any loose flyers/items so that they don’t blow away. You are welcome to leave a member of your group or organization with your table or booth while others walk. Please feel free to promote any fund raising activities your organization has.
Once all the walkers have reached the end of the walk, there will be time to visit with groups/organizations at their booths/tables. Please take time to meet one another and get to know other individuals & groups that are working to make Zion a better place.
As a reminder, the walk is FREE. Please be at the Band Shell because we will be starting promptly at 6:00 pm.
Please contact Kirk Henderson at kirkh@zion.il.us to reserve a spot for your club/organization/group.

22nd Annual Coalition Caddie Classic Golf Outing
2019-08-16 | Shiloh Park Golf Course, 23rd St & Bethesda Blvd, Zion, IL, 60099, United States
22nd ANNUAL COALITION CADDIE CLASSIC GOLF OUTING
FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 2019
Shiloh Park Golf Course

The Coalition for Healthy Communities invites you to support our 22nd Annual Coalition Caddie Classic Golf outing. Golfers from across Zion, Winthrop Harbor and Beach Park will participate in this truly unique event, which pairs golfers with young people from our community serving as their caddies. The interaction between the two allows for conversation and mentoring. Those who have participated say that it is truly a special day. This event provides funding for the Coalition’s many health, wellness and social issue programs across the Zion-Benton community. Some of our programs are noted below:

The Community Wellness Task Force was established to encourage healthy lifestyles by our community members in Zion, Winthrop Harbor, and Beach Park. The objectives of this task force support:

Raising awareness of wellness issues related to nutrition, exercise, social habits, and general health.
Provide insights and activities that allow individual community members to learn about, reflect on, and commit to healthier habits as the first step toward a longer, healthier life. The ever popular Community of Character Walk on September 12, 2019 is another project to support the community of character initiative.

The Literacy Task Force seeks to promote literacy within our community—to create a community of readers—and increase community awareness of existing literacy resources. See the zbchc.com website for a map of 15 little free libraries this task force has brought to the tri-community with the help of the Meemic Foundation. And a host of other programs to support this mission.
The Substance Abuse Prevention Task Force is our eldest work group which has been the catalyst for several self-sustaining substance abuse prevention programs. The primary goal of this task force is to expand new initiatives in order to reduce substance abuse in the Zion-Benton community. Programs include Healthy Youth, Zion Central Middle School Communication Campaign, Prescription Drug Take Back, Social Norms Campaign, Teen Court and Underage Drinking Prevention.
The Coalition for Healthy Communities believes there is untapped leadership potential in the Zion-Benton area. The Zion-Benton Leadership Academy identifies, assists and empowers individuals to become active and inspiring contributors in our community. The Coalition envisions community leadership reflecting the diversity of our community and that a culture change will result in leadership development, life-long learning and giving back in the Zion-Benton community.

Your support of the Caddie Classic helps ensure that the Coalition can continue these initiatives. Whether you join us for golf at the event or donate in some other way, your support is very much appreciated. A listing of donor opportunities is enclosed.

Thank you for your support.
