Mayor and Board:

With the cold weather upon us make sure to check on the elderly and your neighbors. When the weather is very cold outside, let the cold water drip from the faucet served by exposed pipes. Running water through the pipe - even at a trickle - helps prevent pipes from freezing and keep the thermostat set to the same temperature both during the day and at night. Have a safe, wonderful, and Merry Christmas.

Sauk Village National Night Out - Dunk the Mayor Pics

Below are a few pictures from the "Dunk the Mayor" during Sauk Village's 2016 National Night Out.

Linda giving me some last minute pointers before getting dunked. I thought someone wanted me by the village hall but she wouldn't let me go

Girls wanted one more selfie before getting in

After the first dunk

Below are some pictures of everyone having fun trying to Dunk the Mayor 

Even the Family had to throw a few. The only bad thing.....I think I paid for them :-)

This young man was having so much fun he kept coming back

Even some of Sauk Village's finest threw a few

Wait! Is that the Culver's guy?

There's village resident Pat Couch distracting me as she presses the big red dot

Finally, a picture with the young man that dunked me the most

National Night Out

National Night Out was established in 1984 with funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), U.S. Department of Justice. The program is administered by the National Association of Town Watch, a nationwide organization dedicated to the development, maintenance, and protection of community-based, law enforcement affiliated crime prevention activities.

National Night Out was developed as a crime prevention program that emphasizes building a partnership between the police and the community. Community involvement in crime prevention is generated through a multitude of local events, such as block parties, cookouts, parades, contests,

youth activities, and seminars. With continued funding from BJA, participation in National Night Out crime prevention activities has increased from 2.5 million people in 400 communities in 1984 to more than 32 million people in 9,530 communities in 1999. Project 365, which helps communities target specific problems over the course of the year, was also developed through BJA funding.

National Night Out’s objectives include refining the nationwide crime prevention campaign, documenting successful crime prevention strategies, expanding Project 365, disseminating information about successful community-based strategies, providing technical assistance on crime prevention program development, and developing the National Night Out Web site. With continued support from BJA,

National Night Out is making communities across the nation safer places to live.
