VOL.15, ISSUE 4 THE MUNDELEIN PARK & RECREATION DISTRICT APRIL 2016

Express Yourself Fridays at 1 pm in Room B

Two things that many adults strive to make time for are hobbies and social interaction. They are beneficial as brain exercises as well as for stress relief. Now you can enjoy both!

Bring your favorite art or craft project to work on and share with others. Explore the newest trend – adult coloring books! Maybe you’d like to learn how to get started with water colors. Have you always wanted to share your love of cross stitch? Perhaps you have mastered scrap booking. All are welcome to share skills and enjoy the company of like-minded members.

We’ve titled this group EXPRESS YOURSELF. Your talent is unique and valuable and certainly worth sharing! Please sign up at the Center.

Three great Chicagoland culinary creations await today as we enjoy a day of local incredible edibles!

Start with chocolate at the Long Grove Confectionery Candy Factory in Buffalo Grove. The one-hour tour includes a short history of chocolate and a look at the kitchen. See and smell the creation of delicious candies like truffles, meltaways, peanut clusters, and the famous chocolate covered strawberries.

Chicago-style deep dish pizza is the next great love of the day, and nobody makes it better than Lou Malnati’s. You can have their frozen pizzas shipped anywhere,

but we’re going to enjoy it fresh in Schaumburg.

Top off the day at Lynfred Winery in Roselle. Though miles from the vineyards and orchards, Lynfred brings in grapes and fruits to create its award-winning wines. Learn of viniculture and tour the cellars and production area. Taste seven different fruits of the vine and branch. Stained glass windows and oak wood floors adorn the tasting room and sales area of this century old house that is Lynfred Winery.

Chicago’s own chocolate, wine and pizza all in one day — Incredible!!
