shopper at the Mariano’s Fresh Market, 450 W. Half Day Rd. reported that her
wallet was stolen out of her purse while she was shopping. She contacted her credit card companies and discovered that

discovered her cards missing.
You
couldn’t get Ethyl or Mable -- The emergency stop button was unknowingly
activated at one of the gas pumps at the Woodman’s gas station, 1515 E.

Seriously?

homeless person in the 1000 Block of Commerce Court reported his generator,
which was secured to a tree, was stolen while he was sleeping.

Wild goose chase at Chase?

late fee, should contact the Billing Department at (847) 459-2500 or email Susan
Rydberg, utility billing clerk at this link . Residents who
have attempted to pay on time will not be responsible for late fees. Please
note that the village’s mailing address for water/sewer service appears on your
bill and has not changed. It is still: Village of Buffalo Grove, PO Box
5612, Carol Stream, Ill. 60197-5612.
Rotary honors Nudelman
The award is named for the late Bill Reid,

and organizations in Buffalo Grove and Lake County.
In addition to a recognition plaque, a
$500 contribution will be made to the charity of her choice in her name, plus a
$500 contribution in recipient’s name to The Rotary Foundation. Nudelman chose
the Congregation Beth Am Food Pantry as her charity of choice.
Recipient’s names are inscribed on the
permanent award recognition plaque located in the Buffalo Grove Village Hall.
