Honorary Chair of Schaumburg Hoffman Estates 2010 Classic

Just three months into his presidency of Harper College, Dr. Ken Ender is wasting little time becoming involved in charitable causes in the northwest suburbs. Dr. Ender has accepted an offer to serve as the honorary chair of the Rotary Club of Schaumburg ~ Hoffman Estates’ annual “Classic” fundraising dinner, scheduled for March 13th, 2010.

“We are very pleased to have Dr. Ender serve as honorary chair and lend his expertise and passion to our fundraising efforts,” said Bill Kelley. “Since he’s new to the area, we were a bit unsure about asking him to serve as chair, but he jumped right in, which shows his commitment and support for worthy causes in the district.”

Dr. Ender will assist the Rotary Club of Schaumburg ~ Hoffman Estates with soliciting sponsors for the “Classic” and will serve as the dinner’s keynote speaker.
