<h2>THE ULTIMATE QUEEN EXPERIENCE</h2>
A tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time, Queen.




ABOUT THE BAND
Hailing from Minneapolis, The Crown Jewels is the Midwest’s premier tribute to the legendary rock royalty of Queen. This powerhouse ensemble delivers a 100% live performance—using no backing tracks—to masterfully recreate the intricate vocal layering and studio precision that defined Queen’s iconic sound. By blending elaborate lighting, authentic costumes, and meticulous staging, they capture the grand scope of the stadium-filling shows that made Freddie Mercury and company global icons. From “Bohemian Rhapsody” to the high-octane energy of “We Will Rock You,” The Crown Jewels offer a visually and sonically stunning experience that transports audiences back to the golden age of arena rock.Buy Tickets <a href="https://forgeparks.com/event/the-crown-jewels-queen-tribute/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Here</a>

Become a Volunteer Meal Driver: Just 2 Hours a Week

Meals on Wheels for Northern Illinois

For thousands of older adults across Illinois, a knock at the door is more than just a food delivery—it is a vital lifeline. At Meals on Wheels for Northern Illinois (MOWFNI), we are dedicated to helping our senior neighbors live independently, safely, and with dignity in the homes they love. We achieve this through nutritious food, wellness checks, and the power of human connection, but we cannot do it alone. The Power of Our Volunteers Our volunteers are the heartbeat of MOWFNI. If you have just two hours a week to spare, you can make a profound difference. Delivering meals fits seamlessly into a midday routine or lunch break. As a volunteer driver, you do far more than hand over a meal; you provide a friendly smile, a warm conversation, and a crucial safety check for a senior who might not see anyone else that day. We offer flexible scheduling that allows you to volunteer weekly, monthly, or as part of a team with coworkers or friends. Our Core Programs: Home-Delivered Meals: We provide hot, dietitian-approved meals delivered directly to the doorsteps of those who cannot cook or shop for themselves. Community Cafes: Beyond home delivery, our vibrant Community Cafes offer a welcoming space for active older adults to gather, enjoy a delicious lunch, socialize, and build meaningful friendships that combat senior isolation. Make a Local Impact Today When you support or volunteer with MOWFNI, you are directly investing in the health and happiness of older adults right here in our neighborhood. Whether you are looking to give back during retirement, connect with your community, or get your local business involved in a meaningful cause, there is a place for you in our volunteer family. Join us in delivering more than a meal. Visit mowfni.org/volunteer-sign-up to fill out a brief volunteer application, or call us today to learn how you can start changing lives—one hour, one smile, and one senior at a time.
