"My
family and I have lived in Lindenhurst for 8-1/2 years
and love the small town feel of our community, the
volunteerism of our residents and the many opportunities
to enjoy the simple things - like Lindenfest, the Forest
Preserves, and our lakes and parks. I would like
to gain an understanding of what is important to our
residents and work toward achieving their goals from a
fiscally responsible standpoint. Additionally, I
will be focusing on building solid intergovernmental
relationships, based on trust and respect, with our
surrounding communities." |
