SPECIAL ACTION ALERT to help Save the Special 8 THIS Tuesday night!

THIS may be the Last step -- I have just learned the Glen Ellyn Park District has the decision on the Special 8 on their agenda THIS TUESDAY 12/18 at 7:00PM. Their meetings are held at 185 Spring Ave, Glen Ellyn, IL -- next to the intersection of Spring and Rte 53. Remember the DuPage Forest Preserve District says they will not buy the Special 8 parcel unless another agency takes over the property. We need the Park District to assume the ownership of this parcel. Public comment is the first thing on their agenda at 7:00PM Sharp. Note any folks on Ellynwoord can come to this meeting first to speak out and then go over to the pre-annexation meeting at the Village Hall.

If you cannot attend the meeting please consider dropping off a letter to 185 Spring Ave. by Tuesday to the attention of Sandra Minogue, President of the Glen Ellyn Park District.

STEP 2. Until we hear that the Glen Ellyn Park District has agreed to accept the Special 8 parcel if and when the DuPage Forest Preserve District agrees to purchase the site, we have another path to travel. Illinois legislators have $10million available to them to allocate to save open space. Please take the time now to write your legislators and ask them to help us Save these 8.3 pristine acres.

To find out who your state legislators are call 312-814-6440 to get their names and contact information or click on this site:

STEP 3. Letters to the Editor have an influence on public opinion and public officials. If you have written to all the officials please consider a letter to the editor. Thanks again to Ken, Phil, Sandy, Sal and others for their recent letters. This week's Glen Ellyn Sun has two letters. Nice going Folks!

Thanks again for your ongoing support.
