Of the Fifties & Sixties

We are celebrating 50 Years of Giving. For fifty years the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Rotary has been dedicated to philanthropy in our community and globally. Since its founding in 1959, the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Rotary has provided over $1 million to improve the lives of others. We are proud that our giving has helped to address humanitarian needs, improve education opportunities and alleviate health concerns in our world.  We embrace “Service above Self” in our pursuit of global goodwill, understanding and peace.

This year’s fundraising will benefit the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Rotary Foundation in its philanthropic efforts. Through the generous support of our sponsors, advertisers and donors we will raise funds for our Foundation to continue its 50 Years of Giving tradition.    

The 61st Lake Forest Antique Auto Show hosted by the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Rotary Club
and the Antique Automobile Club of America, Illinois Region will be held on Sunday July 19, 2009.
Fabulous Fins of the Fifties & Sixties are the featured automobiles. A rare 1957 Cadillac Eldorado
Biarritz convertible is being showcased.

The show is the oldest and largest continuously run show of its kind where auto enthusiasts from across the region will exhibit over 400 historic and classic cars.  The Lake Forest Antique Auto Show is a unique gathering of owners, admirers and buyers of classic automobiles.  We expect attendance by over 3,000 affluent enthusiasts.   

Charitable Opportunities

Sponsors
With your generous sponsorship support, the LF/LB Rotary Foundation will be able to sustain its  
50 Years of Giving mission. As a sponsor, your business/organization will be included in a feature article and advertisement in the prestigious June and July editions of Forest & Bluff magazine sent to all Lake Forest and Lake Bluff households.  In addition, you will receive a full page color ad in the Show Book distributed to all patrons and exhibitors. Your message could be seen by as many as 35,000 people.
