Dear River Forest residents,
The Village is pleased to announce our first electric vehicle charging station located at Village Hall. The Village is looking to add more throughout our community as more and more residents have or are considering electric cars. With the onset of COVID-19 we saw an uptick in pet ownership. Read about an event on how a chemical-free lawn can benefit you and your pet. Also, please remember to get your dog license if you haven’t already. Click here for more information and call 708-366-8500 for assistance.
Anna Johnson Julian was a leader for African American women. Ms. Julian served as Trustee and later was elected Board President of Rosary College, now Dominican University. She was a co-founder of the Erikson Institute for Early Childhood Development. To learn more about Anna Johnson Julian’s amazing story, please see below an article from a local resource in the Oak Park River Forest Museum.
The Village has also added a new information plaque to the bas-relief panel, previously on Washington School, now on display at the Public Works facility (45 Forest).
Village Hall will be closed Monday, February 21 for Presidents' Day, but refuse collection will not be impacted by this holiday.
Sincerely,
