The Village of Holiday Hills CHERI HOGLL'ND ROSEMARY HOLT2 385-3944 344-0615 ACCELERATE^ TBAINING The Illinois Department of Corrections has announced an accelerated training program for custodial officers who will serve at the state's adult correctional institutions. The program, designed to help alleviate the population crisis facing these institutions, will begin soon at the Menard Correctional center in Chester. A special task force of trainers from the agency's training academy in Chicago* will be sent to Chester to instruct of­ ficer recruits under actual working conditions. Competition Fierce Among Club Officers In a hard-fought, hotly contested battle, the result^ of the election of officers of the Holiday Hills Women's club are in. The victorious winners who each waged a brilliant cam­ paign in the effort to defeat the fierce oppositions are, Sally Carroll who will serve a second term as president, Maryann Mahon will serve as vice- president and Marge Connell will handle the office of secretary. Both of the ladies have many years of experience to guide them in their elected positions. The important position of treasurer is in the hands of Penny Appleyard. The ways and means committee is shared by newcomers Cathy Wordell and Charlene Dorosh while the entertainment committee boasts the talents of Dolly Thomas and Sherry Senn. As the new officers prepare to assume the responsibilities of their elected office the Women's club takes this time to recognize the officers who so capably served during the past year. The ladies also discussed the very popular annual Easter Egg Hunt. All the children of the village will enjoy the fruits of the Women's club labors. But participation is the key to success for not only this but every Women's club project. If you are interested ui working on the egg hunt committee contact Penny Appleyard. To volunteer for any other com­ mittee, contact any club of­ ficer. » A BIBTHDAY BOUQUETS Go to Walter Ericson and John Boettcher Feb-. 17, the former Janet Harper who shares the eighteenth with Debbie Wilson, the up and coming writer, Nannette Mroz Feb. 19, to my daughter Kristin along with Julie Ann Mahon Feb. 20 and to George Washington who has both the twenty-first and twenty-second to celebrate.
