) LAKELAND PARK NEWS Carole Hum&nn 385-1005 URGE RESIDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN CLEAN-UP The City of McHenry is conducting the annual clean-up week beginning with pick up on the north side of Rt. 120 on Monday, May 5, through Friday, May 9. Each truck will have two men and so they ask that only debris that two men can lift be put out for collection. No garbage will be taken at all. Pick up for the south side of Rt. 120 will begin on Monday, May 12 and continue throughout the week. Collections will be made every day so trash can be put out each day. If there is time <t would be nice if residents could take a walk through a nearby field and pick up anything that has survived the winter. This is a great chance to clear out the garage or attic so that there will be room to collect the junk to be put out next year during clean-up week!

This last Saturday evening was a special night for our assistant scoutmaster, Bill Schmidt. At the annual Kishwaukee district appreciation dinner Bill was awarded his Scolder's key. This award couldn't come to a more deserving Scout leader. In behalf of all the parents of boys in our troop, I extend congratulations. In fact, this is a good time to express appreciation to all our leaders. We, as parents, sometimes forget how much time these men such as Stu Hoak, Bill Schmidt and Les Bacon spend with the boys, it is not an easy job. Saturday morning the troop and post should meet at the church at 10 a.m. all prepared to spend the weekend at Fox Lake. Bring your usual can® gear plus a bag lunch for the noon meal. One last item, I have been informed that the troop could use some used uniforms.
