Being in the Great Lakes region we are fortunate to have plenty of lakes in our vicinity that provide both beauty and freshwater resources, so it is up to us to protect them. It starts right here in Glen Ellyn with our very own Lake Ellyn! There’s so much to learn so let’s dive in.
Summer is here and we love a summer party! Think backyard cookouts, graduation celebrations, neighborhood block parties, picnics, and evenings on the patio with friends.
