  • Workshop to brief non-profit boards on finances

    The Evanston Community Foundation is sponsoring a workshop this month to brief board members of non-profit groups on how to provide financial oversight for the organizations they serve.

    Whether of not they have financial backgrounds, board members and the board as a whole have an important role in providing financial oversight and protecting the assets of the organization.

  • City eyes grant aimed at theater rehab

    City officials are scheduled to ask aldermen Monday to seek a federal grant that could lead to renovation of the shuttered Varsity Theater downtown.

  • Minorities in sports media
    McCormick Tribune Center Forum, 1870 Campus Drive, Evanston, IL 60201

    “Minority Representation in Sports Media” will be the title of a lecture Monday, March 8, at Northwestern University.

    Ndidi Massay will deliver the Gertrude and G.D. Crain Jr. Lecture at 6 p.m. in the McCormick Tribune Center Forum, 1870 Campus Drive, on the University’s Evanston campus. Her presentation is free and open to the public.

  • Free parking ups holiday garage use

    Expanding a free parking offer at Evanston's downtown garages seems to have increased garage usage during the holiday shopping season.

    Usage figures presented at this week's Parking and Transportation Committee meeting show parking garage usage increased 6 percent during the Nov. 27 to Jan. 4 run of the promotion last year compared to the same time span in 2008.

  • Google dream draws a crowd

    About 40 Evanstonians gathered in a Civic Center meeting room Tuesday to strategize about how to persuade Google to build a new ultra-high-speed internet service here.

    The search-engine giant announced earlier this month that it's seeking information from communities around the country that would like to be the site for a company-funded test of gigabit internet service, and Evanston officials announced last week that they plan to apply.

    Representatives of Northwestern University and the local technology incubator joined the session, along with a variety of high-tech business owners, workers and retirees who live or work in Evanston.
