Maine Township Seeks Nominations for Good Citizen Award

Nominations are being sought for the 2015 Sgt. Karen Lader Memorial Good Citizen’s Award which will be presented to a Maine Township resident who has demonstrated strong support and dedication to his/her community. The award winner will be announced at the Maine Township Annual Town Meeting on April 14.

Nomination forms are available online at www.mainetownship.com or by visiting Maine Township Town Hall, 1700 Ballard Rd., Park Ridge, during regular business hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. The deadline for submission is March 27.

In 2011, Maine Township proudly instituted the award in honor of Lader, a resident of Des Plaines and a 15-year veteran of the Cook County Sheriff’s Police who lost her battle with cancer in 2010. Deeply involved with Maine Township residents especially in the Neighborhood Watch Program, she was also active in the successful National Night Out Against Crime event held each August.

“We are looking forward to recognizing another recipient this year who has gone above and beyond in service to fellow residents and our community,” says Township Supervisor Carol A. Teschky. The winner will be honored with a plaque and a monetary award.

Completed forms should be mailed to Trustee Peter Gialamas, at Maine Township Town Hall, 1700 Ballard Road, Park Ridge, IL 60068. They may also be faxed to her at 847-297-1335.
