Today's riddle: What is clean when it is black and dirty when it is white? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Wilmette Resident Named Clearbrook Vice President of Philanthropy and Marketing (patch.com) — Wilmette residents may be interested to know that neighbor Morgan Estabrook has been named Clearbrook's new vice president of philanthropy and marketing after a national search. She will guide fundraising, marketing, and community engagement for the disability services nonprofit, drawing on extensive experience at Northwestern and a personal family connection to disability advocacy that shapes her commitment to inclusive community support.
• Medina ladder truck sold for $2.1 million to community in Illinois (orleanshub.com) — Wilmette is buying a nearly brand-new ladder truck from Medina, New York, for $2.1 million, giving the village a high-end fire vehicle that never went into service. Medina leaders describe Wilmette as a wealthy community and say the truck was more than they needed or could afford. The sale means the truck should arrive in Wilmette soon after final inspection and transport.
