Do you know what Care Club is? Care Club is a group of adults who come to Ravinia every once in a while. Kids sign up and go to the meeting during recess. I asked the chairwomen, Christine Peschier, a few questions about Care Club. Below are the questions I asked Christine and the answers she gave me.

Q: What is your role being chairwoman? A: To organize all of the meetings throughout the year. Q: What meeting made the biggest difference in our world?
