Cup of Cheer 
(click to buy tickets)
Thursday, December 2
Friday December 3, 2021
from 9am to 4pm. 
The Naperville Garden Club regrets to inform our 2021 Cup of Cheer™​ attendees that one of our homeowners has decided to no longer participate in the event due to family health issues.  This is the first time in the event’s 59-year history that a home has been removed just before Cup of Cheer™ begins.  This short notice has allowed no time for a replacement.  The St Louis home in East Highlands will not be on the walk.
 
The Club will not be able to offer refunds or discounts on this community fundraiser.  We hope that you will still join us in joyful holiday spirit at the remaining venues.  Thank you for joining in this Naperville tradition!​

​Ongoing activities for the environment
Contact Elaine Bynum 630-278-9722 to recycle Styrofoam from packages and take-out food containers since we learned they are not wanted in our street recycle program. Elaine will take it to DART in North Aurora. 
JoAnn is continuing to collect the plastic bread closures that are too small to go into regular recycle bins but Scarce is thrilled to receive in bulk.

Kay McKeen from SCARCE would be so proud of us.  She taught us how to find a place for just about everything that would go to the landfill without just a little effort from us.
