"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members."
– Coretta Scott King
Community is what keeps us all moving forward in these difficult times. Your teams have been doing amazing work when it comes to developing new ways to engage with your communities.
The
Lake County Forest Preserves is calling on community members to share their experiences during the pandemic for the Bess Bower Dunn Museum, where those stories and images will be documented and shared for years to come as a part of the area's history.
The
Mokena Community Park District has created a "Home But Not Alone" page that offers resources for all ages and also highlights stores with special hours for at-risk populations.
This is just a sampling of the many wonderful initiatives and innovative approaches our members have developed during this pandemic. See more examples of the work our members are doing by visiting

Stay safe, stay well and thank you for everything you do.
Sincerely,
Peter M. Murphy, Esq., CAE, IOM
