Thank you for volunteering to captain an area or to simply help at a park or easement near you. However, we are still in need of volunteers at the following locations:
Captains needed:
*If you have branches for the Township to pick up on May 24, please neatly stack the cut branch edge at the curbside for ease of pick up and loading. There will be no leaf pick up by the Township, Groot must be used.
*Neighbors Al and Patti Burmeister will drive around handing out water bottles!
*Hey Kids, you can earn double volunteer hours. Please contact Jeri Swanson for details.
What do I need to bring with me:
Shovels, work gloves, rakes, pruners, wheelbarrel, chainsaw
Lunch Details: Volunteers needed to cook and serve lunch at the Beach. The Borst family is organizing the food, drinks, and setup. Dan Washburn is cooking and will need a partner. Cooks/Servers will be wearing masks and gloves.
Please call Jeri Swanson @ 847-507-2760 if you have any questions or if you wish to volunteer. Thank you!
Note, you can use white paper bags or old milk cartons for your Luminary lights. Amazon has lots of different variations here: Amazon
After Santa’s Visit take the Luminary Walk around the lake. It’s beautiful!
Due to COVID-19, we wanted to provide some tips this year for Halloween on Saturday. Trick-or-treating will be between 4pm and 8pm. If you are passing out candy, here’s some ideas to keep contact to a minimum:
If you’re not comfortable having trick-or-treaters or are not feeling well:
Checker Board Parking is the occasional parking of cars on both sides of the street and it can be challenging to pass through this maze. Our streets are generally narrow and when there is parking on both sides of the street it becomes challenging for the average size vehicle to maneuver between the parked cars to pass down the street. Larger emergency vehicle, many times, would not be able to negotiate between the parked cars.
Please ask neighbors and your friends that may be visiting that “checker-board” parking on both sides of the street is discouraged and is a discourtesy to others as well as a safety issue for emergency responders.
Summer volleyball will begin Tuesday June 16. For those unfamiliar this is a recreational Tuesday evening league that plays at both Schwerman and Bjorkland. The season typically wraps up the last Tuesday in July or first Tuesday in August, followed by an end of season Saturday tournament.
If you would like to organize and captain a team, please reach out, so I can include your team on the schedule.
