Last Night was the annual Libertyville township meeting. We had a great turn out, unlike at our regular monthly meetings. The boyscout Troop 60 from Libertyville came out to lead the pledge. I loved that. It had been my idea to allow and invite local groups/organizations to come out and lead the pledge at our meetings and we give them a certificate for coming out.
The Assessor gave a report, so did our Highway Commissioner and Supervisor. Much praise was given for the staff in all the offices, both the township office and assessor's office as well as the staff of the highway commissioner and open space offices. I concur, they are all great, do a great job.
I also spoke and said how great this township group was. We may not all agree but we discuss issues and are fair and responsible in our decisions, doing what we think is best for our community and what they would want us to do on their behalf.
We are currently working on building a new food pantry this summer which will complete the campus. Lately per month, we have been supporting about 270 families consisting of about 700+ individuals. The new pantry will be a great addition to the township.
In open space we had volunteer day this past Saturday which I attended with a group from one of the pageant programs that does a lot of community service.

Volunteering at Open Space in Libertyville Township
Haven't posted lately. Neglecting my blogging duties.
Yesterday Sheridan and I and a bunch of NISP girls and their moms and a dad too, went to volunteer on the monthly volunteer day at Libertyville Township Open Space Lands, Oak Openings.
it was fun. We picked mustard weeds (the moms) and the kids got to rake the burn piles froma recent burn and plant new seeds then you rake them over and jump on the seed piles too. Fun and not too hard.
Then we watched the conservationist and some trained volunteers do the burn on another part of the land.
It was very cool.
It is great to volunteer and can be fun too!
