| May 2010 The next General Meeting will be held Tuesday, May 25 at 7 Pm and New Fellowship Covenant Church. This will be the last meeting before the summer. The next meeting will be September 28. (Watch for a news letter in August) Trish Simon or her representative will be at our May meeting to update us on the plans for the Health Fair. We will also firm up plans for some summertime events, such as the Picnic, Neighborhood Beautification, Summer Concert, and National Night Out. Business items will include selecting some persons to serve on a nomination committee for the fall elections. See you there! There will be door prizes! The Montes family will also be at the meeting to update the membership. Good News .. They have a HOME! Living History: The filming is ongoing, but will come to an end with the end of this school year. The last group that was filmed also had a quick tour of Elgin Academy’s Black Box Theater, and a state of the art computer lab. We are still in need of people who are willing to recall on Video their memories of their earliest times in the neighborhood and in Elgin. In addition, we need pictures or realia that can be copied or photographed to be placed in the video to illustrate a point that is being made. Example: When people say their kids played in the fields, do you have pictures of your children out in those fields, or pictures of your home or surrounding homes being built, or children playing safely in the streets. Do you have pictures of businesses in Elgin that have not been seen by the general public? Can we scan and return them? Do you have objects that relate to your life in Blackhawk or Elgin that are little treasures? Call Joan Anderson if you wish to discuss something you have or are willing to be filmed.. 847 695 7064. We can still do some filming in May, but we will continue in September when classes resume at the Academy. Garage Sale: I talked with Carol Johnson, and she will not be doing a Realtor sponsored Garage Sale this year, so you can plan accordingly.

If you are available to help out contact Joan Anderson 847 695 7064 or sign up at the general meeting. Be sure to take advantage of this FREE Screening! Crime: Crime statistics for our neighborhood can be found on the Internet. Go to www.cityofelgin. org, click on Living in Elgin, click on public safety, click on Police, click on Crime statistics and then on Monthly Crime Stats. Our Beat is Beat 201. In our neighborhood there were only about 3 listed all occurring along Dundee Avenue. These statistics don’t include any traffic violations, accidents, graffiti, gang or drug offences. None of the things that I personally called the police about are reported in these statistics. I’m sure the police keep records of calls received, their number and location. This would be an interesting statistic to see. At our last meeting the police told us to call and report things that are happening that need police attention. Please do so. If at all possible, try not to park in the street on garbage day. A garbage truck hit a parked car on Dakota trying to make a pick up. Words from Dave Kaptain: Don’t let your neighborhood go backward. Keep it moving forward! www.natsysinc.com/blackhawk |
