Educate yourself on the Park District's Non-Binding Referendum

The Frankfort Park District has the opportunity to purchase a valuable parcel of land (the Borg-Warner plant, 300 S. Maple) for future recreational use for the community.

On Tuesday, April 6, the Frankfort Park District is asking voters, in a non-binding referendum, if it should acquire and improve the site of the Borg-Warner Plant for the purpose of developing, improving, and operating an indoor recreational space and outdoor athletic facilities and finance the purchase and renovation of the project by issuing bonds that will result in a property tax increase? The referendum question is a non-binding (advisory) ballot question.

Me Too is a Movement, Not a Moment on Tue. Apr. 6 at 7pm. For Sexual Assault Awareness Month, join us on Zoom to discuss Tarana Burke's TED Talk "Me Too is a Movement, Not a Moment." In 2006, Tarana Burke was consumed by a desire to do something about the sexual violence she saw in her community. She took out a piece of paper, wrote "Me Too" across the top and laid out an action plan for a movement centered on the power of empathy between survivors. More than a decade later, she reflects on what has since become a global movement. Watch the TED Talk before this program: https://www.ted.com/talks/tarana_burke_me_too_is_a_movement_not_a_moment
