The uniforms must be returned so they can be accounted for and made ready for next year. Boys who still have Little League uniforms should take them to George Mayer's home, as soon as possible. A BIRTHDAY PARTY In celebration of his eleventh birthday, Nov. 10, Jerry Sullivan had a party, and in­ vited some of his friends from the village. Guests were Denise Parenti, Leslie Walter, John Cunningham, Tom Milbratz, Jimmy Schultz, and Tom and Henry Tapaninen. Jerry received many nice gifts, and all the kids had a good time playing games, after which they were served cake and ice cream. PEOPLE Glad to hear Mrs. Josephine Giosa is back home and feeling better after her recent stay at McHenry hospital. Good luck to Vicky Dubina who has started taking driving lessons. She's just beginning, but is already a whiz at backing out of the driveway. PROGRESS REPORT Bob Muise presented a list of prices for various wall covering materials at the village hall meeting, Nov. 14. There was some discussion as to the durability of the different types of materials. Mr. Muise and Jerry Raycraft plan to check further, and price some heavier plywood before a final decision is made. The gas space heaters were due to be installed last weekend, and are considered quite sufficient to keep the building warm. Sports equipment will be decided on at a later date, as will program scheduling. A calendar showing what activities are scheduled, and what nights are open will be made when the building is ready for use. It was decided that there ifs no foreseeable need for another meeting. As things are going along smoothly. The $500 donation from the Ladies of the Lake for electrical equipment was what started the ball rolling, and progress has been steady since then. 1 BIRTHDAYS A belated birthday greeting to Laura Bitterman, who is a 'teenager now.
