Turkey is the fowl topic of the month. It’s uppermost on our minds and will soon be on our palates. For Dick Wickstrom, turkey is foremost.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, Dick Wickstrom Chevrolet, 555 E. Irving Park Road, Roselle, will host a car care clinic. A factory-trained technician will present information on basic maintenance for all cars. Clinic attendees who test-drive a new or pre-owned car will receive a gift card for the purchase of a turkey.

Likewise, attendees who donate a $5 gift card to Wal-Mart, Kohl’s or Target for Marklund Children’s Home will be entered into a drawing for a flat-screen TV. In case you’re unfamiliar, Marklund Homes of Bloomingdale and Geneva care for persons who have severe developmental disabilities.

For information, call (888) 770-1994 or e-mail Cathy@wickstromchevrolet.com.
 
Another Roselle event

From 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, the Friends of the Roselle Library will host an audio and video sale. While there, check out the perpetual book sale. Gently-used audiotapes, videotapes and books are an economical way to spend a cold winter evening.

In addition, the Friends of the Library are always open to new volunteers. For information, call (630) 529-1641.
