Tornado Watch til 11:00 pm |
There is a tornado watch until 11:00 pm in Illinois. I did not receive any information from the Lake County Emergency Management Center, but have read reports on-line. Hopefully this won't make it as far north as we are. This is a good opportunity to review your severe weather safety procedures for the possibility of dangerous weather.

Assessment Notices for Fremont Homeowners |
The 2015 assessment notices will be in the mail next week for Fremont Township . All properties in Fremont Township will also be published in the Mundelein Review on July 16, 2015. This is a reminder that if you feel your property is incorrectly assessed, you should contact the assessors office with comparable information. The assessor's office sets the value of your property and the taxing bodies set the tax rates. If you need help with the comparable information, the Lake County Assessor's Office is holding outreach sessions. Click here for dates and times. There are two classes available for you before you need to file your appeal. Before filing your appeal, contact the Fremont assessor's office with your evidence. They can be reached at 847 223-2846. If you are not happy with the outcome of your meeting, the FINAL FILING DATE to appeal for Fremont Township properties will be August 17, 2015. Please note that this is the only time you can appeal your assessment. Many people call the assessor's office when the tax bill comes. That is too late. You must appeal the value of your home by August 17, 2015. |

Recycle Sheets, Blankets, Towels, Shoes, Eyeglasses |
If you have used towels, sheets or blankets that need to be recycled, please consider bringing them to Fremont Township at 22385 Rt 60, Mundelein to be donated to local Animal Shelters and Rescues. Please drop them in the bin on the front porch. This keeps them out of the landfill and puts them to good use.
We also accept eye glasses and shoes to be recycled year round. If you are disposing of shoes that have laces, please tie the laces together. Thanks to our residents, we recycled 1240 pairs of shoes in the last twelve months!
