My tenor with the Chamber of Commerce

the confines of town into a viable organization. The signs
welcoming you to Chicago Ridge were a part of an effort to
put Chicago Ridge in the public eye. We invited candidates
to a public forum and to meet with the voters on a one to
one basis.
Own Words:
While living in Chicago Ridge since child
hood, I have always felt great pride in the growth and
accomplishments of this Community. It has been my pleasure to
be a part of this growth, as both a volunteer and a Trustee.
The decisions made by me, as part of the Board are for the
food of the Community. No one individual decides the faith of
Chicago Ridge. Hard work, thought and discussion are all part
of the process. I look at our new Village Hall and Police
Department with pride. There were many hours of planning put
into bringing what was sorely needed to this community. We now
have a wonderful space for meetings of many organizations in a
wholesome atmosphere. I take pride in having a History Room
located in our facility. It was a dream I have had for a long
time. I am looking forward to being a part of this board and
the Village of Chicago Ridge for a long time to come.
