To the Editor:

I’ve always known that McHenry is a community that takes care of one another. Random acts of kindness occur daily. Most go unacknowledged because they were done for the best of reasons – because it was the right thing to do.

The response by our community and neighbors in surrounding communities to the fire at Windy City Wings was an amazing example of who we are. The fire occurred late on a Thursday night. By Friday, Edgebrook and Duker schools had organized a drop-off site, seeking donations for those who lost everything in the fire.
