A Note from the President...
|
Welcome to the homepage of the Illinois Club.
I am pleased to be serving as president this year.
The Illinois Club has been actively bringing people together in friendship
and mutual interests for 157 years. We are diverse and vibrant
with members participating in a variety of social, recreational,
educational activities and scholarship support. We started as a women's club
and evolved to include spouses, friends, and community members.
In addition to our more social activities, we award University of Illinois
students with scholarships every year through our endowments
housed with the University of Illinois Foundation. I invite you
whether you are a current member, prospective member or
someone who just stumbled upon our page to check out the many events,
interest groups and other activities listed on this website.
If you like what you see, I invite you to contact us and
attend one of our events or interest group meetings
to meet our members and learn more about our activities.
Best,
Chris Lyke

We are still in search of a Vice-President to help me out this year and take over the reigns next year. Without members to take on the important work of the board, we have a hard time continuing to offer the events and activities of our club. Please consider taking on this important role.
