Sorry for the additional email.  I was going to wait to send it out, but because of the road closure you are getting it today.

Rollins Road Closures January 15-16
On the nights of January 15th and 16th, Rollins Road east of IL Rte. 83 will be fully closed for one hour between midnight and 1:00 AM. This will allow the contractor to remove the temporary bridge from temporary IL Rte. 83. During this night, there will be other lane closures between 10:00 PM and 5:00 AM to allow for the setup of this operation. Once complete, they will work on cutting down the embankment to bring the grade in-line with the new IL Rte. 83 pavement, as the weather allows. More information

Till Help Arrives

Come find out how individual preparedness, planning, and survival skills during the immediate aftermath of an emergency or disaster are essential measures in coping and make you an important asset to your family, neighbors, and other members of your community. What you do after calling 911 until the police, ambulance or fire truck arrives will have a critical impact on the quality of your survival and your ability to help others safely and effectively.

Recycle towels, sheets, blankets, eye glasses, shoes
I am amazed at the donations we receive for the local Animal Shelters.  They are all being used and there is a demand.  We really appreciate Tracy Oliver and her continued dedication in delivering these items to our local shelters.

If you have used towels, sheets or blankets that need to be recycled, please consider bringing them to Fremont Township at 22385 Rt 60, Mundelein to be donated to local Animal Shelters. Please drop them in the bin on the front porch. This keeps them out of the landfill and puts them to good use.  

We also accept eye glasses and shoes to be recycled year round.  
Scholarship Opportunity
Please pass this information along.  It is a state wide program.
Illinois high school seniors who will continue their education in-state may apply for Township Officials of Illinois scholarships.  Application must be submitted by March 1, 2015.
