Thursday, May 8th at 6:30 PM-The Clergy of Carpentersville Invites you to The Community Day of Prayer. This event will kickoff at the front entrance of Village Hall. There will be several churches involved in this event and the focus is to break out into groups and go to various locations around our Village and hold a prayer vigil at those locations. Please plan on joining with these pastors to bring the power of prayer to our Village. Each group will be praying for different causes.

I also have a meeting set up with a representative from PACE to discuss how the Village can attain more revenue from our bus stop shelters advertising.

I’ve decided that it’s time to keep our residents informed of what is happening outside of the political squabbles that have been going on for far too long. The public has a right to know what is happening in the Village.
 
This site is dedicated to providing you with the best possible news and events that are taking place in our Village. My goal is to keep you informed of all happenings that are pending.

[A Few Ground Rules] All commentators will be expected to give their real names. The reason is obvious, I want to know what you think and you should be willing to put your name to your comment. I’m looking for feedback from the community. I want to know your opinion. If we’re doing a good job I’d like to hear that, if we need improvement, I also want to hear that. This is your opportunity to communicate directly with me and let me know your thoughts and ideas. That’s how a democracy works best.
