Schaumburg Live Work & Play - March/April 2009 - (Page Cover2) editor’s note t looks like warmer weather is on its way and there’s no more sure a sign than the wearin’ o’ the green on St. Patrick’s Day. We’ve got some ideas where you can celebrate the end of winter’s chill on page 26. As temperatures rise, thoughts of grilling can’t be far behind. Get motivated by the grill masters at Weber Grill Restaurant. We take to the air with the Lima Lima Flight Team’s John Rippinger and get inspired by Matt LaRue who volunteers his time teaching some “Lost Boys of Sudan” life skills and computer knowledge. Erin Merryn turns her personal pain into a triumphant tale of survival and hope for others in her book, “Stolen Innocence”. Of course, it wouldn’t be spring without baseball. We, along with the Schaumburg Flyers, welcome their new manager Mike Busch live work play most recently from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He may think this IS warm weather! Relax, enjoy and thanks for reading. schaumburg live • work • play I MARCH/APRIL 2009 VOLuME 1, ISSuE 4 Director M.
