Join “Team Bud” at Family Matters Walk-A-Thon, Saturday morning, May 21st
I can assure you that Family Matters devotes this money to a very good use: as Bud would say, helping create a safe environment for local children and their families – helping these kids develop strategies that will help them be successes in life.

Commemorating Ten Years of Rogers Park Business and Artist Network (RPBizArts)
One morning back then a group of local business people and artists* thought that Rogers Park needed a networking organization that was uniquely suited to Rogers Park.

About the Author
Mike has a long term relationship with Rogers Park, having lived here at various times in his life, most recently returning to the neighborhood in August, 2009. While living here as a third year law student, he remembers drunken nights at Biddy Mulligan’s and hosting a couple of memorable parties that he, hypocritically, now forbids his own tenants from having. Years later, after completing his stint as a lawyer, Mike started investing in apartment buildings in Rogers Park (and elsewhere), and soon after, did what many newly divorced real estate investors do: he moved into one of his buildings. In 1992 Mike was one of the founding members of the Rogers Park Builders Group, an organization that he eventually headed for six years, until yielding those reigns three years ago. Around a decade ago, on a whim, he reserved the web site “Rogerspark.com,” which he has been developing ever since, and which co-hosts RP BizArts networking events. Mike is the proud father of three wonderful children, Amy, Mitch and Ella.
