Our League's Environmental Committee members reached out to the community every Saturday at the Oak Park Farmer's Market during the month of “Plastic-free July.” They spoke to many people about the elimination of plastics, collected signatures on a petition for the Village to legislate an ordinance for restaurants to replace plastic containers and utensils with compostable ones, and encouraged the use of wax paper and paper towels in place of plastic wraps and bags. They also asked people to vote “Yes”on the Cook County Forest Preserve Referendum that will be on the ballot at the November 8 election. Beverly Graham and Marsha Borders are pictured. |

Mills Park Tower Resident Council Election
On Wednesday, June 15, the League of Women Voters of Oak Park & River Forest monitored the Resident Council Board Election for Mills Park Tower, an Oak Park Housing Authority Building. As a non-partisan organization, our League was asked to ensure this election was run efficiently and fairly. Five candidates were elected from a field on nine, with 64% of the residents participating in the election. We wish this new Board good luck in engaging and representing tenant interests with the housing authority.
