Libertyville Township meeting
Tonight was an average meeting, only lasted one hour.
Approval of bills was standard. there was one expense a little high in the road and bridge fund but budged for and was for a ditch liner in a street in an area with flooding issues.
There were no Township reports, and the Assessor was not there and everyone else, the supervisor, clerk, highway commissioner and trustees were and had no reports.
We received an update on the food pantry...it is scheduled to be completed by next Friday Sept. 3. Very exciting. The next things to be done by next weekend are landscaping, paving the parking lot, putting in the storage racks and units, painting the pantry and putting in the flooring.
The big issue tonight was the Liberty Prairie Trail Relocation near Casey Road. There were many community members who showed up to state their concerns including the expense for the movement of the path. We explained this has been a long time coming, was put in the wrong spot and is because we are having to protect some important virgin prairie land. This is a state protected land. We requested proposals for the path to be moved from civil engeineers and we had 15 proposals. They were all required to have done such type of work and answered questions to the same to assure they know how to work in such land.
Regarding old business we talked about the newly submitted social service applications. 27 were picked up 25 returned on time, 1 late and one not at all. The late one came from teh Sr. Council of Libertyville and as per policy it will not be considered b/c it was not returned on time. It seems our office did contact them reimind them to pick it up and the when they did not turn it in we reminded them to turn it in and the due date it had to be in by.
That is the gist of the meeting. You should have been there.
Other misc. news our Township Open Space manager bred his two labs and the girl had a litter of 10 pupc which have been certified and he is selling at a good price. they are currently about 4 weeks old.

College of Lake County Movie Night
You may ask, what does the College of Lake County Movie night have anything to do with pageants and politics, well on this Friday night they are showing an outdoor movie outside the multipurpose filed on Washington Street in Grayslake.
They are showing the movie Iron Man 2.
Sheridan will be there in crown and sash as the Miss Preteen IL American Coed Queen selling glowsticks to help fundraise to go to nationals. Come support her and us and watch a great movie and buy a glow stick or two at $1 each. Bring the kids.

Grayslake Parade
On Saturday, August 21, 2010 was the Grayslake Parade at 7pm. Sheridan was on the float for the Miss Northern Suburbs program as the Miss Northern Suburbs Outstanding PreTeen with 3 princesses, Alyssa, Sofia and Kiersten.
The Grayslake Theme was Grayslake's Got Talent and our float had a hollywood/oscar theme. I will post pictures to follow too. Sheridan got to sing on the float the entire time. She sang Golden Rainbow. Our director bought an amp so she could sing. The whole parade was amazing and Sheridan sang amazingly well.
Earlier that day sheridan sang at the Graylake talent contest and she won as did all the contestants, originally there were going to be 10 but there ended up only being five.
It was a great day.

NISP Barks for life
this past Saturday August 21, 2010 in Cary, IL there was a Barks for Life Event. it was a great walk for cancer awareness. At this event NISP Northern IL Scholarship Program, the pageant that does tons of community service, sponsored a Dog Pageant. All the NISP Queens ran the pageant. It was so fun. There were about 14 participant dogs in 3 categories, Little, medium and large dogs. There was a better term but I dont recall at this moment. One dog one in each category a little crown and cape. I will post pictures to follow.
Sheridan was a Mama Goose, petting and playing with the dogs, as a hostess as they were waiting to go on stage to compete.
There were side option awards too like best smile, best hair, best awwww factor etc.
This was a success. Great job!!

absent - gearing up for nationals
so i have been absent in my postings because Sheridan is away at camp. It has been a wild summer.
After sheridan won coed, she then finished up at the Improv Playhouse Camp production of Grease where she played Rizzo, in a jr. high version of the production. Then she went away to her overnight camp for 3 weeks, with a little interruption of me picking her up to take her to an American Girl Doll shoot and then back to camp again. She finishes camp this week and then back to gearing up for pageants.
The things we are working on now is fundraising to go to nationals for American Coed. There is so much involved, so much to do. We have to fundraise and sell two full ad pages at $600 each. I have sold one page and 1/4 of the 2nd page.
We are selling glowsticks to cover the costs of the hotel and gain sponsors and gain donations to turnaround and sell to pay for the costs of the optionals.
We need to work to cover costs for food/rental car and gas. We arent even working on the cost of any new clothing. There are two dance outfits to buy too though.
Lots to work for.
We have a bake sale at a post office, selling glowsticks and light up fans. We will see if we can come up with more ideas. We are also selling candy bars at my job to raise money.
This is a lot of work. Sheridan needs to come up with some events too and is also busy in her other systems doing events too. All in all, it is august 2 and there is so much yet to do. UGH!!
come check out our updates later!
