I want to thank all of you that came out for
our annual Breakfast meeting at Brunch
Café. We were educated on Property Taxes,
that topic that seems to be one that no one
completely understands, by our speaker,
John Dabrowski, Bloomingdale Township
Assessor. I would like to remind you again
that the Board authorized reducing the cost
of each meeting by $5 per person by underwriting that cost for the remainder of the year. Please take advantage of that offer.
Another reminder, we are still accepting underwriters for the Fourth of
July Fireworks display that the Chamber is sponsoring for the Village this
year. Please Contact Gail at the Chamber office for more information.
We also had one of our four New Member Breakfasts at Roselle Bank &
Trust. I really think these are so important in helping recruit new members to the chamber. It’s a great way to let people know how we can
help them grow their business and how the Chamber can benefit them.
It isn’t overwhelming and allows for a lot of questions and discussions.
If you’ve been away from Chamber as an In-active member, please feel
free to call Gail and come back and see how we can work together.
Last but not least, I want to thank all the members that showed up at Associated Bank Roselle for our monthly Business After Hours. Lori Larsen and her Staff were great. I know we all enjoy the food catered from
Elena’s. We had 2 members win raffle prizes provided by the Bank. Dr.
Kristen Langner won a bottle of Lynfred wine along with an Associated
Bank hat. Member Joe Sbertoli also won, receiving a $25 Gift Certificate.
I look forward to seeing you all at the Annual Golf Outing on Wednesday,
May 11th. This is our biggest fund raiser of the year and is the first, and
best, Golf Outing in the area. Come out, enjoy the day either golfing or
volunteering. It is always a great day!

52nd Annual Rose Parade
Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 5 and join the crowd to watch the
2011 Rose Parade as it strolls through town!
Member businesses who have applied to participate as an entry will discover our
parade is a great way to promote your business to the hundreds of spectators
lining the parade route. Line-up notices will be mailed to parade applicants this
month. The notice will provide your line-up number, instructions for staging/
drop-off procedures, and a parade route map. Please be sure to distribute
this information to all members of your unit!
In an effort to enhance our parade, the Parade Committee
has developed guidelines for all parade entrants.
So please remember, all entries must show some
effort in their presentation by providing visual or audio
amusement for spectators.
We look forward to the sights and sounds of this year’s
parade. We hope to see you there!
The Parade
Committee is
looking for volunteers
to help with assembly
on Sunday, June 5. If
interested, please call
Gail Croson at the
Chamber office.

Message from Lake Park
Educational Service Center
The Lake Park High School District 108 Board of Education
reached an agreement with the PGA of America to utilize
East and West Campus facilities during the 2012 Ryder
Cup. This event is scheduled at Medinah Country Club
for September 25 to September 30, 2012. At the April 25
meeting of our Board of Education the agreement and associated compensation were approved.
This premier golf tournament is expected to attract 45,000
visitors on a daily basis, including numerous world leaders.
Due to security issues and anticipated traffic in an event
of this magnitude, the Lake Park Board of Education judiciously processed the PGA’s proposal. Because Medinah
Road will be completely closed to general traffic during the
tournament, access to East Campus will be virtually impossible.
Based on this decision, Lake Park will be modifying the
2012-13 school calendar. Monday, September 24 through
Friday, September 28, 2012 will be non-attendance days
for students. There will be no loss of instructional time,
and we will be able to maintain our traditional holiday and
break schedules. A tentative draft of the 2012-13 calendar
is posted on the LPHS website. They will be working proactively to address activities and athletic events and practices scheduled during that week.
The PGA of America and Medinah Country Club have a
history of supporting school and community partnerships.
This is an exciting opportunity for the school and our community. Additional details on the LPHS website for your reference. If you have any questions or comments, please do
not hesitate to call contact Lynne Panega at 630-295-5440
or lpanega@lphs.org.
