Friends and neighbors,

 

I just heard about this event and wanted to get the information to you right away.  

 

As always, it's a pleasure and honor representing you on the County and Forest Preserve Boards.  Please contact me any time for any reason.  I am always glad to hear your concerns, interests and ideas.  Government works best with your involvement.
