October 29th marks the second anniversary of the passing of our son Jon, after his courageous battle with cancer. While two years have passed, the loss of a child is something that never truly leaves your heart.
Each year, this event gives our community an opportunity to recognize an individual who has made substantial contributions to the city over a period of time. It is a chance for us to pause and say thank you to someone whose dedication, volunteerism, and commitment have helped make our community a better place to live.
Over the next several months, two important events offer a chance for your participation to make a real difference: our Annual Dancing with the Darien Starz and our 54th Annual Citizen of the Year Banquet.
Every once in a while, something happens that reminds us of what community is really all about. Recently, a devastating fire at the Windsor Lakes Apartment Homes in Woodridge displaced more than sixty individuals and families. In a matter of hours, people lost their homes and many of the belongings that were part of their everyday lives.
