Light The Night in Buffalo Grove for those lost in Newtown, Connecticut

Remembering those lost in Sandy Hook

A few of the surrounding suburbs have participated in "Light the Night" in honor of those who lost their lives in the tragedy last Friday.  I would like to see the residents of Buffalo Grove do the same.  Please, anyone in Buffalo Grove (or whatever town you live in), light a candle (real or flameless) and put it on your front porch on Wednesday, December 19, in memory of Sandy Hook.  Please spread the word to your friends and neighbors.

Thank you.

DeAnn, I will join in the moment of silence in remembrance of the 20 children and teachers who were murdered in Newtown, Connecticut and encourage others to do so as well. Another way to honor the victims is to make a blood donation in their honor. The Buffalo Grove Fire Department is hosting a Blood Drive on Friday, December 21 at the Highland Grove Station. While they prefer an appointment, they will happily take walk ins. I plan to donate and hope others will too!

Andy, I would love to donate blood, but I can no longer give blood since having breast cancer. I hope others will take this opportunity to donate.

I saw a post about requesting a new toter 2-3 weeks ago and called Waste Management right away to…Read More get my name on the list. They told me the new 35-gallon one would be delivered the week of 6/24. When I looked outside this morning upon hearing a truck, I saw that they took my old one and replaced it with the 35-gallon toter. (Today is my trash day.) It may take time for the delivery to occur since it takes longer than when they pickup your trash and it's someone with a different vehicle doing it. The only problem I have with WM is they didn't take the old wicker lawn chair I left out for the trash.

While I understand the intended benefits of these new toters (increased efficiencies by WM, which…Read More should help keep residents' costs down), there has been an unintended consequence to this. As you walk around the neighborhood, you now see the majority of homes having to leave the toters OUTSIDE, even for those who were successful in getting the smaller ones delivered. How many homes now have their garbage sitting alongside their garages, or even out on their driveways, all the time? Not exactly eye-appeal. I was able to fit mine into the garage, barely, next to my recycle toter, but now I can't open the back door of my car when its in the garage. I only hope that the raccoons don't figure out how to lift the lids!
