Shamrocks For Dystrophy
Generosity begins at home, and at the Wander Inn it is seen in the color of green on their walls. The "Shamrocks for Dystrophy" is a promotion that has come to be a tradition for John and Wanda Berlin and all the customers who have walked through their doors. Every "regular" and even those who have just "dropped by for a bite to eat" have donated their $1 for this worthy cause. Last year the people of Huntley helped them to raise $257 for Muscular Dystrophy. This year John and Wanda hope to beat that amount.
