Lake Bluff Letter

COVID-19 Updates

STAY HOME. The Governor's Stay at Home order remains in effect, and households are forbidden from making non-essential trips. You should continue to avoid social gatherings and maintain six feet of distance from members of other households.
CLOTH MASKS ON. The CDC now recommends that individuals wear cloth face coverings when in public... but there are some things you should know.
BEACH OPEN. The Park District is keeping Sunrise Park and Beach open and is recruiting volunteers to enforce social distancing. (Want to volunteer? Contact Jim Lakeman. PPE will be provided.)
RECYCLING REVISIONS. Groot asks that any household with members showing COVID-19 symptoms not recycle. These households should bag their recyclables and place them in the trash.
QUICK SURVEY. There's been a lot going on, and we are working to communicate as best as we can. Please take a few minutes to let us know how we're doing.

Village and Community Updates

GONE FOR EASTER. Lake Bluff's recycling facility will be closed on Sunday, April 12. It otherwise remains open during regular hours.
SHOP LOCAL. Our local businesses may be closed, but we haven't forgotten about them. Restaurants continue to provide takeout including Easter specials. Finally, the Chamber of Commerce is selling gift certificates for local businesses.
BOOKWORM. The Lake Bluff Library can give you a library card, some e-books, and some seeds for your garden to help you pass the time.
DON'T GET STUCK ON STICKERS. New and renewal vehicle stickers are postponed. You will not receive a ticket for displaying an expired sticker.
CENSUS. Someone may not be knocking on your door - but it is still important that you are counted in the 2020 Census. Our counted population affects our elections and access to funds for the next decade.
BLOOD BANK. Blood donations are down but are still needed in our hospitals. Lake Bluff's own Vitalant is accepting donors by appointment. Please consider scheduling a donation.
