Looking
for something to do this weekend. 
Building Safety
Week is from May 5 through May 11. Attractive educational materials are
available in the Community Development Department at the Village Hall.
For example, brochures about flood cleanup, mold prevention, green
building and preparing for natural disasters are available. You may also
go to the link below to download more information about Building Safety
Week. 
The
Village is pleased to announce a new opportunity for Lake in the Hills
residents. An agreement was established late fall 2007 that extends the
Lakewood resident's discount to the Lake in the Hills community.
How does it work? Simply purchase the RedTail Golf ID card for
$20.00 and begin to see the savings. During the past season, for
example, a weekend golfer was charged $64 per round as a non resident; a
RedTail Golf ID cardholder paid $52 per round. Lake in the Hills
residents would already see a savings on their second outing of the
season. RedTail Golf ID cardholders may also purchase annual
memberships at the resident rate, resulting in a savings of as much as
$700 per year.
