With them was another
cousin Parker cousin —
Peter Novicki and wife,
Vicki, from Team Reaper.
Parker’s dad, Bill, joined
the group as did his brother
TJ and wife, Erica.
Following the grilling,
attendees at the Ribtoberfest
filled the Wilmette
Harbor Club and had their
choice of ribs, pulled pork
and brats along with sides
of mac and cheese and
baked beans followed by
an assortment of sweets.
A raffle and silent auction
followed dinner.
“The Ribtoberfest is so
important to our nonprofit
Warming House,” said Joe
Feldman, president of the
Warming House Board.
“Many people in the community
are not aware of
the different youth services
we have in our community
like the Warming House.
Our executive director is
a licensed social worker,
the program director has
a Masters degree in social
work and the rest of
the staff is trained to work
with young people from
middle school through high
school. They are plugged in
to teens, give them a place
to go and a shoulder to lean
on when need be.”
Cynthia Doucette is the
the Warming House’s executive
director. She has
worked there for the past
20 years, 17 in her current
position.
“The more time you
spend with the teens, the
more you better understand
their pressures, what they
are doing and want to do,”
she said. “They learn we
at the Warming House are
there for them regardless
of what is going on in their
lives.”
The three Ribtoberfest
judges were Bob Bielinski,
Wilmette village president,
David Zier, owner of Zier
Prime Meats and Chef
John Robinson who previously
served as executive
chef at Marshall Fields.
