Dear River Forest residents,
I am pleased to announce at the last Village Board meeting, the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners voted to promote Officer Ben Ransom to the civil service rank of Sergeant. Please help us congratulate Sergeant Ransom on this great accomplishment! We look forward to seeing him continue the exceptional work he does for the community and with our Police Department.
This week, the Village received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association. This award is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and reporting. The Village Board and staff strive for fiscal responsibility and transparency, and we are honored to receive this award.
Lastly, for those who are looking for family-friendly activities this summer, I encourage you to take advantage of the events held each week at the Trailside Museum of Natural History - including, “Stories in the Forest” every Thursday at 10 a.m. this month. You can find additional upcoming events here.
Sincerely,
|
