Does the State of Illinois Have Your Money?
|
The state currently has $2.1 billion dollars in cash, plus contents from Illinois bank safe deposit boxes, which need to be returned to Illinois residents. Most assets are transferred to the state after they've been inactive for at least five years.
When you are checking the www.icash.illinois.gov to see if the state is holding your money, check your businesses, churches and governmental agencies too. I posted this on Facebook and heard from over 100 people who found themselves on the list! Three of my children, my sister and my great grandfather are on the list! One friend found $10,000.00. If you have an apostrophe in your name like me, the system doesn't accept the apostrophe.
The State also has an unclaimed property auction March 28 to April 1.

 American white pelicans have once again returned to Lake Marie Forest Preserve in Antioch. The lake itself offers habitat for migratory pelicans, loons, grebes and other waterfowl.
White pelican numbers are growing in Lake County, as they have been throughout the state in the last decade. In March, a flock of more than 100 white pelicans spends time resting, fishing and frolicking on Lake Marie. Though there are no formal trails at this preserve, it is open to public access.

Flagstone - to create a patio area near shed - Do you have any left over from a project?
Honeybees - we will gladly take a spring swarm if you find one!
Native Perennials - prairie plants, especially pollinator-supporting varieties
(Think of us if you are thinning yours)
Straw and bagged leaves - we use for both mulch and to add carbon rich materials to our compost bin

Mundelein High School Auditorium
Ticket prices: Adults $20, Seniors $15, Children $10
In Belle Époque Paris, the recently married Dr. Hercule Molineaux tells "one, tiny, little, hardly noticeable lie" to cover an innocent but embarrassing indiscretion. From that single untruth tumbles a cascade of increasingly convoluted deceptions, misunderstandings and mistaken identities adding up to a hilariously zany and infectiously charming farce.A hilariously zany ride of mistaken identities, near misses and wild coincidences.
A joyously racy and infectiously charming farce of which Ben Brantley of the N.Y. Times wrote: " a shaggy poodle story... Feydeau at his silliest in which a maze lurks behind every door and cases of mistaken identity multiply like mayflies.
