This project is taking steps toward the beautification of the Torrence Avenue Corridor. Mr. Steve Kasper and I developed and implemented it with support from the Mayor.
Steve and I worked closely with Tim Watkins, Superintendent of Public Works and Dwayne from Dutch Gardens, offering Torrence Avenue and Ridge Road Businesses the opportunity to purchase one of 15 flower pots to decorate their business. Next year, these businesses will have the opportunity to contract with Dutch Gardens services or plant their own flowers as, the pot is theirs to keep!
Steve and I wish to thank Mayor Podgorski for helping us get this program blooming!

On April 4, 2009, I attended the Thornton Township Women of Honor Brunch. This year the Honor Awardees were Katie Jackson Booker, Trustee for South Suburban College; Estelle Bednar, Community Volunteer and Disability Advocate; Michelle Markiewicz Qualkinbush, Mayor of Calumet City; Lenovia Evans, Mayor of Riverdale and Lisa Madigan, Attorney General for the State of Illinois.
This event celebrates Women’s History and the impact women can make in the world. It gives hope, advice and support for the women of today who are overcoming adversity, while recognizing the many struggles the women of our past had to overcome in order to create a better community.
Thank you to Frank Zuccarelli and the many hard working people of Thornton Township for holding this beautiful event. It was a joy to attend!
