Winfield Historical Society members will host their annual meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 15, at the Winfield Public Library, 0S291 Winfield Road.

At 7:30 p.m., a slide program on “Images of the Roaring Twenties and the New Woman” will take a step back in time to one of the most exciting periods in U.S. history, the 1920s. The decade is best remembered for scandalous fashions, revolutionary jazz music and amazing new freedom for the newly “liberated” women, known as “flappers,” whose rebellious attitude inspired risqué, flashy fashions, unorthodox behavior and a demand for equality.

Classic golf outing

St. John’s Parish will present its 11th annual Golf Classic on Friday, May 16 at St. Andrews Golf and Country Club, 3N441 Route 59, West Chicago. Last year, the event raised more than $6,000 for St. John’s School.

In order to meet or exceed last year’s spectacular showing of support, donations are needed from parishioners. Anyone who has a vacation home, timeshare rental or sporting event tickets and would be willing to donate these to the live auction taking place that evening would be appreciated.

More than 146 St. John School students in kindergarten through eighth grade participated in the Abuse Poster contest sponsored by St. John’s Knights of Columbus.
