MEMORIAL PROGRAM RESEARCH DISCUSSED
At the March 20 Committee-of-the-Whole meeting, staff provided research regarding 16 different park district memorial programs. The research served as a catalyst for discussion about the Wilmette Park District's current program (which has been on hold), which installs physical plaques at the base of trees. The Board and District staff are examining alternate methods to honor loved ones in our parks. View the research on page 28 of the March 20 Committee-of-the-Whole meeting agenda packet here.
