Pond Update:
This year we are exploring what is needed for the pond to stop eroding into itself. The Township
has been contacted and discussions have started regarding what can be done and what the financial
costs will be. We will keep you informed as information comes available.

Pond Clean-Up Day: Volunteers needed
Pond Clean-Up day is To Be Determined. It is usually in May. An email will be sent out when a date is chosen.
Neighborhood help is always appreciated for general upkeep around the pond.
The neighborhood picnic will be held on Saturday, September 8, 2012 from 1:00-5:00pm at David’s Park (near the intersection of Arlington and Des Plaines). Do you have a chili recipe that is something to boast about? Come join the Chili Cook-off!
There will be games for the children and the fire truck will arrive around 3:00pm. Hot dogs, brats and soft drinks will be provided by the association. Please bring a dish to share. This is a BYOB affair, but we ask that NO GLASS be brought to the gathering. If you bring your dogs, please have them on leashes.
