Letter from the Editor.

I hope you enjoyed the April Fools Newsletter sent out earlier today. Last year I got a few people in a little hot water so I went easy on the fake stories.

April is a busy month with lots of events taking place in Oak Park. The biggest day to put on your schedule is Saturday April 16th. If you can try and attend the Earthfest day while strolling thru the farmers market then come back later that night for a Drive-In movie.

I have listed everything happening in chronological order. Take a look, Mark your calendars and come out and support the people in the community putting on fun and educational events.

Oak Park Update has added a video link and weather update to the home page. Many residents have requested this over the past several months. Go and check out the first video we posted its from 1967. See the video

Oak Park Update will now be able to post videos of community events and other interesting things happening in Oak Park. Check the site regularly since it is updated daily.

If you have a video of something interesting you want to share with other residents send it to me. If it makes the cut we will post it.

I wish everyone a GREAT month with health and happiness. If I can help or assist anyone in the community please let me know. I am a licensed Realtor living and working in Oak Park.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

signature
