The month of May, here at Village Hall, began with a special Board of Trustees meeting in which our newly elected Village President and Trustees were sworn into office.  The right to vote is among our many personal freedoms.  May concludes with Memorial Day, Monday, May 31– a day that commemorates all the men and women who lost their lives while serving in the US Military.    “Freedom isn’t free.”  

However you choose to spend the day on Monday, the 31st, please observe a moment of silence to remember and commemorate our fallen heroes. We salute, honor and thank all the servicemen and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice!

Show your support by attending the Memorial Day Ceremony at Evergreen Cemetery, Monday, May 31 @ 11 AM, 610 S. Dundee Avenue, Barrington.
