From Glencoe Sesquicentennial Planning Committee: Now open for nominations!

The Sesquicentennial Planning Committee and the Glencoe Historical Society (GHS) are asking for your nominations for the 150 Glencoe residents who will be unveiled and honored as part of the Village’s year-long 150th anniversary celebration at the Glencoe Hall of Fame Dinner on January 26 th , 2019 at Skokie Country Club.

“To qualify for consideration, an individual, (either living or dead) must have either been born here, lived here, or worked here” said Glencoe Historical Society President Ed Goodale: “And this person should have accomplished something that made Glencoe or the world a better place.” The Glencoe Historical Society is currently collecting the nominations, researching each individual and preparing a celebration to honor these 150 extraordinary Glencoe residents. “This list will undoubtedly include men and women of all ages and
ethnicities that have helped shape business, government, science, the arts and sports.

We expect to find many individuals with strong voices, but also others who have quietly and graciously found unique ways to represent the values that this village holds dear,” said Chairwomen of the Sesquicentennial Planning Committee, Karen Ettelson. Share your nomination online at the GHS website, www.glencoehistory.org or the Sesquicentennial website at www.glencoe150.org or obtain a nomination form at Village Hall.

“Individuals selected for the Glencoe 150 Hall of Fame will include not just past leaders and citizens who shaped our community, but also present day individuals with contributions that impact lives. These are people to inspire our younger generation to take up the torch and shape the future of Glencoe! We also continue to invite any individual interested in helping with the Sesquicentennial celebration to fill out the

“Get Involved” form on the Glencoe 150 splash page at www.glencoe150.org.” said Lawrence Levin, Village President.
