The Larger Purpose of Service

Rotary Clubs. Jaycees. Exchange Clubs. Women’s Clubs. Men’s Clubs. Kiwanis. And Lions, oh my!

Small armies of individuals serving a purpose larger than themselves. It is truly remarkable in theory and practice.

Nonprofits like Turning Pointe Autism Foundation depend not just on the funding from these generous clubs, but on the promise of their charters: that each of us will do our part for our shared community. In this way, members own the responsibility and joy of the very hard work it takes to make a community a proud place to reside. It is the spirit and heart that club members carry with them throughout their meetings, plans, events and days that makes Naperville special.

Turning Pointe wishes to thank all the volunteers and all the supporters of these clubs for believing in our mission, too. From haunted walks and pancake breakfasts to street fairs and barbecues, your efforts to create a fun, connected community helps Turning Pointe connect our students.
