Sauk Village Clerk Report
By Village Clerk Debbie Williams
August 23, 2016
There is no meeting scheduled for next Tuesday, August
30th is a fifth Tuesday.
It is great seeing the community working together in
so many positive directions including four very successful Back to School
events. Many thanks to everyone who contributed and participated and special
thanks to Sauk Village Church of God-Crossroads, Grace United Church of Christ,
Kamilah Jones and the KJones Learning Center and the Sauk Village Neighborhood
Watch who joined with School District 168 this year.
I had the pleasure of attending 3 out of 4 of these
events. I hated to miss Jammin’ with Jesus this year but it was County Fair day
with the family.
Trustee Myers shared a letter with me that he received
from a meeting he recently reported on.
Calvary Church hosted an ALL LIVES MATTER event that Trustee Myers was
very happy to attend and that made an impact on him.
Trustee Myers made on impact on them as well. Calvary, Trustee Myers and other first
responders will continue to focus on unifying and strengthening relationships
within the south suburban communities.
Fundraising for the 60th Anniversary
Committee has begun. We will be hosting a trip to the Horseshoe Casino on
November 11th. Tickets are $35.00. Register for the Entertainment
mobile app- use the Entertainment coupons where your travels may take you. The
cost is $20.00.
I also had the pleasure of attending the last
Intergovernmental Community Partnership meeting. It was very informative. I believe this group
of leaders from the municipality, school district, library and residents will
prove to be a great benefit. Last week several ideas were brought to the
village board. One of which is the Community Service program with Bloom Trail
High School. During the Community Partnership meeting I expressed my experience
with helping students earn their hours for various reasons by partnering with
Parks and Recreation and village staff. I think this is a great program and I
offered to continue assisting with this program.
As a village board member and a library board member I
will continue to engage with this committee and help in whatever way I can
starting with attending the October 1st fundraiser. I am looking
forward to it.
Finally, Human Relations Chair Frank Williams asked that
we express condolences to Human Relations Commissioner Latonya West on the loss
of her husband. Our thoughts and prayers are with Latonya and the West family.
