Western Springs is 125 years old in 2011
Next year Western Springs will turn 125 years old and The Village plans to have a massive celebration.
They are currently assembling a committee to plan the birthday party. These are the type of events that really give a town its character so if you have the time and the talent to commit to making this a great event, I suggest you contact the Village and get on this committee.
Imagine if Martha Stewart lived in Western Springs and was on this committee. Do you think we'd have a great birthday party? We would. Is Martha Stewart better at this than you? Probably. But I bet there are a few event planning ringers somewhere in Western Springs and you're the people The Village needs.
To get on this committee contact Ingrid Velkme ivelkme@wsprings.com or Janet Dahl jdahl@wsprings.com by email or call The Village 246-1800 x 125.
