Cook County Forest Preserve Meeting May 6 2009

Quick light upbeat meeting started with FPD Police Department’s Chief Richard Waszak, giving commendations to many officers for their superior efforts on behalf of the public, including saving of a life.

A resolution was read into the record by Larry Suffredin (D-13) thanking the Forest Preserve Police Dept. and the Cook County Building and Zoning Department for their help with the grand opening, April 19th, of the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Educational Center, located in the Village of Skokie.

A spokesman for the Museum said there is an excellent section in the museum for children under 12.

The (IHSA) Sectional Bass Fishing Tournament was a tremendous success.
