Please join fellow TAP-Chicago volunteers and lend a helping hand/paw to man’s best friends as we walk dogs from the Chicago Canine Rescue! The shelter is a 5 minute walk from the Forest Glen Woods preserve, so this is a great opportunity to get exercise and fresh spring air while giving back to the community.
Chicago Canine Rescue was founded in 2001 to help find permanent homes for dogs considered too young, old, ill, or have special needs that would otherwise be euthanized at local shelters. There are currently 80 or so dogs at the Rescue that would love to your attention and care!
Free parking is available in their parking lot.

One of our very own social committee member, James Lee will be teaching a beg/int hip-hop class at the end of this month. This class will be catered to people with little to no experience in hip-hop / freestyle dancing. So if you’re one of those people who always wanted to break it down at the club, but just didn’t, now is your chance to come learn some moves so you can bust some moves!
Join James on the last Saturday of this month (4/30) by 4pm @Dance Connection for a good time. There’s also an awesome cuban place right next to the studio so we can all go grab dinner there after the workshop.
Dance Connection is @ 3117 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago, IL 60618
Students = $5
Regular = $5 we don’t discriminate!
