With passage of a state budget this week, the Village has been notified by the Illinois Department of Transportation that work may resume on two projects for which the state holds the construction contracts.

The Glenview Fire Department is hosting a blood drive from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 8, at Fire Station 8, 1901 Landwehr Road. Participating donors can receive a limited edition patriotic T-shirt while supplies last. Plus, for each donation made, $1 will be given to Operation Support Our Troops.

Plan ahead: The Village of Glenview is hosting a combined electronics recycling and document destruction event from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, July 15, at the Glenview Municipal Center parking lot, 2500 East Lake Avenue.

There is no cost to participate, but residents must live in a member community of the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County. This event is intended for residents; no material will be accepted from businesses or schools.

Under the Illinois Product Recycling and Reuse Act, specific electronics are prohibited from being thrown away in the garbage and taken to landfills, such as TVs and computers. Take advantage of this one-day event to responsibly recycle these items.  

The Village and Glenview Park District are looking for your input regarding the 2017 Twilight Fireworks Show and Concert. Take a few minutes to complete a short 10-minute survey. Deadline is July 19.

Access the survey here.

If a Glenview Police officer catches you doing a good deed -- like wearing a bike helmet while riding your bike or coming to another's aid -- you could be rewarded with a "Good Deed" coupon, good for a free McDonald's ice cream cone. Officers have 220 coupons to give out this summer.

The topic is "A River Runs Through It" on Saturday, July 8, at the Green Table at the Glenview Farmers Market, across from Wagner Farm, 1510 Wagner Road.

Featured from 9 a.m. to noon are Friends of the Chicago River, who can provide information about the river's health, flooding issues and recreation opportunities.
