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
847-297-1335.
