Yard Signs Coming Tuesday and Wednesday

Many of our high school seniors have now finished up their final exams and are preparing for virtual graduation. In the meantime, we're excited to present our "Honk for Seniors Car Caravan" in their honor. Over 150 "Class of 2020" grads who live in the Village have signed up for a drive-by salute this coming Thursday, the 28th. The preparations begin on Tuesday and into Wednesday when Village personnel will deliver a yard sign and mini swag-bag to all registrants. If you are on our list, please display your sign prominently in your yard. On Thursday, beginning at 10 am, keep an eye and ear out for a procession led by Mayor Cunningham to wind down your street. This is expected to last several hours, and we will get to everyone. All participants should have received an email containing details. Those who haven't are asked to check their spam folder, or
simply click here.
We're so thrilled to be doing this for our seniors. They deserve it.
