HP Progress in 50th Anniv. Parade and Family Fest Booth
Thank you to all of the people who gave their time and energy to make Hanover Park's 50th Anniversary weekend a success for Hanover Park Progress. We had nearly 30 people marching with our group (pictured below) in Saturday's parade. We would have had more, but so many of our supporters were marching with sports team and community groups. Our booth at the Family Fest (selling pulled pork sandwiches and mangoes) was very successful. Thanks to all of our volunteers!

Hanover Park Progress Members Announce Intentions to Run for Village Office
For Immediate Release, August 13, 2008
Hanover Park Progress Members Announce Intentions to Run for Village Office
HANOVER PARK, IL-Several members of Hanover Park's newest political party, Hanover Park Progress, have announced their intentions to be candidates for the April 2009 municipal election. This new party was formed in July of 2008 by Hanover Park residents seeking to address the needs of the village's residents and businesses. The party members expressing interest include current Village President Rodney Craig, who will again be running for the Village's top spot. Others expressing interest in running for the Village Board will be property manager William Cannon, past Hanover Park Hurricanes Football Association president Rick Roberts, and business leader Ed Zimel. The final member with an eye toward the April election is Eira Corral who plans to run for Village Clerk replacing the retiring Village Clerk.
"Our organization includes many talented individuals," commented Laura Roehrig, Hanover Park Progress Secretary. "These individuals definitely represent the values and integrity that we want for our community. These are people who have already given hours and hours of time as volunteers and community activists. If these individuals are slated for our party, I think we would have pretty good odds for success in April."
Leading the way to candidacy will be Hanover Park Village President Rodney Craig, who has held the post since 2007 and was a Village Trustee since 2001. Mr. Craig has worked diligently during his tenure as Village President to connect community, business, and religious leaders in Hanover Park. Mayor Craig was instrumental in bringing together the DuCAP Community Board, which has set up a community center in the Tanglewood area. He has been working with regional and state leaders to make new legislation possible for downstate partnerships to establish wind farms to create sustainable energy options for the area and to save tax dollars.
"I see my role as Village President to be bringing people together to solve problems," commented Mr. Craig. "I am proud to be part of Hanover Park Progress. This is a great group of individuals who are here to address real issues that impact the residents of Hanover Park."
"I would say that the individuals interested in being slated for Trustee candidates represents a diverse range of community involvement," noted Rick Roberts, who was recognized with the Hanover Park Youth Leadership award this past year. "We have high expectations for Hanover Park, and we feel that it's time for our government to live up to those expectations."
Representing the business community within Hanover Park Progress is Ed Zimel. "I own two businesses in Hanover Park, and I have raised my family here, so I have a lot invested in Hanover Park." said Mr. Zimel, "The Village Board needs to listen to the business community and support our businesses."
The final individual expressing interest in running for Trustee, William Cannon, brings knowledge about homeowners associations and housing matters. "With the foreclosure crisis in the country, we need to have a government that makes smart housing choices," commented Mr. Cannon, who is a member of the Hanover Park Development Commission. "We need to support homeowners and work to keep property values increasing."
Expressing interest in running for Village Clerk, Eira Corral is a 17 year Hanover Park resident and community organizer. She has been active in engaging the community of Hanover Park through her involvement in her local parishes and community organizations.
"The Village Clerk is one of the first local government officials that residents and business owners build a relationship with," said Ms. Corral. "Hanover Park is a young, diverse, and vibrant community and it should be represented by someone who reflects the interests of the village, engages community members, and is invested in their leadership development."
Hanover Park Progress has defined public safety, smart energy choices, fiscal responsibility, and intelligent planning for our village as the cornerstones of the party platform. For more information about Hanover Park Progress visit http://www.hanoverparkprogress.com. |
