I am reaching out to our residents to remind everyone of some particularly important things that each of us can do to continue to protect our public health, safety and well-being, related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I am asking every single resident of Buffalo Grove to work together by wearing a cloth face cover or mask while you are shopping at essential businesses.
Please follow the recommendations of federal, state, county and local health authorities for everyone’s protection.
Please choose to cover your face because it is the right thing to do. Visit

to view a brief video on how you can create your own face covering with items in your own home. As a reminder, even if you are wearing a face cover or mask in public, there is an additional step you must take to protect yourself and others, by following social distancing guidelines.
Please remember the following: continue to adhere to social distancing when you are outside, don’t host gatherings in your home and limit trips for essential needs only. Remember to check on your neighbors to ensure they have the essential items they need. Consider picking up items for others while purchasing your own to limit the number of people in public. Let us all work together to get through these trying times.
Personally, I miss being able to be out in public, shopping without a care, or gathering at a community event - and I am sure most of our community members feel the same way. But, by taking these precautionary steps, we are all moving closer to the day when we can return to our ‘normal’ lives.
I also ask you to support the
BG Delivers Campaign
, which is all about supporting our Buffalo Grove community in a variety of ways.
One thing you can do today or over the weekend is to help our community by completing the
U.S. Census
. This can be accomplished by completing the physical form, via phone or online; it only takes about 15 minutes to complete. The more participation our Village has, the more resources we will receive - to continue to make Buffalo Grove a great place to live, work and raise a family.
Thank you, and I wish you all a wonderful and healthy weekend. Remember, we are all in this together and the winning strategy is to do the right thing.
STAY HOME
SAVE LIVES

Village President
