2009 Horizon Hockey Outing
Saturday evening March 21, around 70 Horizon members enjoyed a well played hockey game. It was a good defensive battle and close game throughout. Ending regulation time in a 2-2 tie, entitled the audience to some extra hockey. The sudden-death period was not enough time to decide a winner, so we got to watch a shoot-out . Unfortunately the Chicago Wolves ended up going down in defeat but, Horizon did its best to scream and cheer the entire game.
How about that stream the entertaining laser light show when they announced the starting lineup? Very entertaining and worth the price of the ticket alone.

Great Time Had by All
On Saturday, Horizon held its annual family holiday party. A large turnout enjoyed a sensational buffet lunch while visiting with fellow Horizon members. There was even a special guest appearance by Santa Claus himself. The kids receive presents while telling Santa what they wanted for Christmas. Best of all Santa was kind enough to take a group picture and photos will be available on the web site soon. Thanks to everyone who put together this wonderful holiday party.
Thanks to shopping weekend organizers
The Annual Horizon Shop with a Friend Weekend was a blast. A lot of members gathered for a fun afternoon of shopping and a relaxing evening spent with friends. Believe it or not, several people even accomplished the task at hand, their holiday shopping. One participant spent over $600 shopping, we just wonder how much of that were gifts for other people. For more information click on the shop with a friend link under activities.
A special thanks goes to the individuals who worked hard to plan this event. From what I saw, everybody had a wonderful time. Maybe we should do this more often???
Horizon Family Party
The Horizon Family Holiday Party is just around the corner. Please visit HOLIDAY PARTY to get more information and make sure you RSVP in plenty of time. This is Horizon’s way of thanking all our volunteers and family members for the hard work they do throughout the year.
Great time had by all
I would personally like to thank everyone on the Night at the Races Committee for putting together a wonderful fundraising event for Horizon. Everyone made you feel like you were in Las Vegas, especially seeing Elvis and Lady luck in person. The buffet dinner was excellent and there were a large selection of prizes that people won. I only wish luck could of shined on me to win a prize but I still came home happy knowing that I was able to help a wonderful organization.
Thank you again everyone.
Another success
This past weekend Horizon held its fall weekend in Ingleside Illinois. There was a good turnout and fun was had by all. I would like to thank the committee who worked very hard in putting this together. This new camp location was really nice and the weather definitely cooperated. Thanks to everyone.
