Lake Barrington officials highlight 250th anniversary events and schedule fall proclamation
Summary
The village chair read a president's letter marking America's 250th, announced an Oct. 3 commemoration, and said a proclamation honoring former hospital CEO Karen Lambert will be scheduled in the fall.
The Chair of the Lake Barrington village board read a prepared presidential letter marking America’s 250th anniversary and urged residents to attend a village commemoration planned for Saturday, Oct. 3. The remarks reviewed local history — noting the first board meeting on Dec. 3, 1959 — and described planned partnerships with veterans’ organizations for the event.
The chair said the village will present a proclamation for Karen Lambert, described in the agenda as the former president and CEO of Good Shepherd Hospital, at a later fall meeting because Ms. Lambert is reportedly busy in retirement. "She's just very busy now all of a sudden in her retirement," the Chair said.
Lily Franz of the office of state Rep. Wanda Waffen introduced herself during the announcements and offered constituent assistance, saying, "My name is Lily Franz, and I work with the office of state representative Wanda Waffen, your current representative in the 52nd District." Franz provided a contact number for residents to reach the representative’s office.
The board also thanked organizers of recent community events, including the village’s 4th of July parade, which a board member said showcased many local businesses and Lake Barrington residents. The announcements closed with reminders about upcoming community activities, including two "Sunset Saturday" events set for July 16 and Aug. 20.
The board did not take formal action tied to the anniversary remarks during the portion of the meeting in the transcript; the items were presented as announcements and scheduled events.
