Planning Ahead
Rockford Area Holding Charity Drive
Rockford area is holding their 2013 Combined Charities Drive in Rockford.
The Drive will be running the month of November. Parkway Students in Ms. Putman’s class put packets together and distributed the information door to door to the residents in the Rockford area.
The 2013 Charity drive includes17 agencies this year.
Donations may be made to any of the 17 local agencies.
Over the many years, Rockford has been holding the combined Charities Drive. Businesses and individuals have been very supportive. Times can be tough, but it always seems the Rockford area still supports the drive!
If you did not receive a pledge sheet and want to make a donation to the Rockford Charity drive, you can download one at or stop out at the Village office for one.
As always The Rockford Chamber of Commerce sincerely thanks the community for their support in the 2013 Rockford Dublin Township Combined Charities Drive.

Rockford FUN
Challenge is a race where two-person teams compete in challenges as they race from location to location in the Rockford area. The first team to complete their challenges and cross the finish line wins. But don't fret if you're not the esteemed winner; there are still great drawings at the after party.
But that's not all the good news: the proceeds from the race are donated to Rockford Chamber of Commerce sponsored Winterfest held in Shanes Park. So, not only can have fun with the challenge, you can feel good that your entry fee was donated to help a community event.
