We are all asked to drop off canned goods at the American Legion 4117 E. Wonder Lake road before Dec. 10. The Christmas party for all children of Legion members will be held from 1- 4 p.m. on Dec. 13 at the Legion Post. GARDENCLUB The November meeting of the Wonder Lake Garden club had a change of locale to "Ostend Acres" with Mrs. B. Alderson as hostess. Our guest speaker for the evening was John Shield of the McHenry County Con­ servation District who, with breathtaking slides of various areas, illustrated the three main objectives of the district; namely preser­ vation, recreation and education. The flora and fauna vary with the seasons and is a constant revelation while canoeing, hiking, and pic­ nicking turn to snowmobiling, and cross­ country skiing for the sports minded. Facilities include 13 sites to choose from, Harrison-Benwell to Coral Woods or Beck's Woods to the "Hollows". How fortunate we are to have these areas to enjoy and appreciate and the people who had the vision to conserve for us and further generations. Saturday, Dec. 13, is our annual Christmas luncheon and gift exchange for all members and guests. Looking forward to seeing you then. Mrs. B.

"We have a long history of successful refresher cour­ ses," said Mrs. Amore. "Any professional nurse who has been inactive in the field for five or more years is invited to call me and learn about our program." The course includes lec­ tures, demonstration and supervised nursing care experience. After a review of basic nursing concepts, the refresher course staff presents descriptions and practical instructions of contemporary, concepts. "Current ideas like nur­ sing audit, terminology like 'c.v.p. catheter' and p r o c e d u r e s l i k e hyperalimentation, tend to intimidate nurses who have left their profession while they are' raising a familiy. "These nurses are I resource which society1 cannot afford to lose, however. Our semi-annual refresher courses have proved that they can return to a modern acute-care hospital as extremely competent and know­ ledgeable professionals." There is no charde for the course except for the cost of a textbook. Further in­ formation may be obtained from Mrs. Amore at 385-2200, extension 642.

The Woodstock Music Theatre festival is an­ nouncing plans for a much expanded second-year program after a well at­ tended and critically ac­ claimed production of "Spokesong" last summer at the Woodstock Opera House in Woodstock. The festival is the new • resident professional company of the Woodstock Opera House. Michael Maggio, festival artistic director, recently returned from New York City where he met with Broadway producer-director Harold Prince to discuss possible new works for the festival. Maggio also spoke with composer Steven Sch­ wartz and a number of up- and-coming composers and lyricists to discuss new works-in-progress. Pro­ ductions of new works of musical theatre will be a major part of future festival seasons. Currently slated for the second season are two major musicals, a staged reading of a new work, a children's musical and a series of classic movie musicals. The festival is also working in conjunction with the McHenry County college to establish a school for theatre arts which is designed to put area youths In contact with professionals in various facets of theatre production. A special part of the second season will be a music theatre seminar hosted by the festival and conducted by playwright Jeffrey Sweet. The one-day seminar will be a first step to a continuing workshop program for new composers, lyricists and librettists sponsored by the festival and organized by Mr. Sweet. The festival hopes to announce specific titles and schedules by the first of the year. All festival in­ formation calls may be directed to the Opera House at 815-338-4212. K.E.O.G.H.
