 2007 Village Employee Appreciation Dinner

 On Friday, January 11, 2008 the village held an appreciation dinner for all of the village employees.
The dinner was held at the Lipinski Community Center. Having the dinner at the Lipinski Center saved the village over 50% of the cost from previous years when the dinner was held at local restaurants some years costing as much as $3000. If you don't know the Lipinski center is available for rent for your functions at very reasonable rates and the village this year decided to take advantage of this fine facility and all it has to offer.
 One of the highlights of the evening was when Mayor Wasowicz presented an appreciation/achievement award to Mr. Ed Figura. This came as a complete surprise to Mr. Figura. Mayor Wasowicz stated that there is no one more deserving of this award then Mr. Figura, who over the past several decades has done so much for the village. His involvement with the Zoning and Planning Commission, as a commissioner, and all of his volunteerism over the years are of immeasurable value to the village and have raised Mr. Figura to an iconic status among residents. This recognition of Mr. Figura was long over due. Mr. Figura truly represents what the statement  "Be a part of your community" is all about. Our sincerest congratulations and thanks to Mr. Figura.

 The Public Works Department honored one of its employees with an "Employee of the Year" award. Mayor Wasowicz was in agreement with Public Works Director Phil DePaola and graciously presented the "Public Works Employee Of The Year" award to Mr. William Picman. Mr. Picman (Bill) has been employed in the Public Works Department since 2003. Public Works Director Phil DePaola said of Mr. Picman "He is an outstanding employee, he is highly motivated, dedicated and always shows a high level of professionalism on the job". Congratulations Mr. William Picman.

 Congressman Lipinski was in attendance to congratulate the Mayor and all of the village employees on the fine job they have done through out the year. He also recognized the improvements and positive changes within the village. He stated that he looks forward to working with Mayor Wasowicz in assisting the village in obtaining the badly need funds to keep the progress within the village moving forward. Congressman Lipinski has been very instrumental in assisting the village in the past in funding and getting other lawmaker's attention to the needs of our village.

 Mayor Wasowicz concluded the evening by thanking all of the village employees for all their hard work, as well as their teamwork in assisting the village in its turnaround. Our village has a bright future and we will obtain our goals as long as we all continue to work hard and work together.
 A special thanks to Clerk Kathy Svoboda, the village hall employees and the special events committee for their work on preparing and decorating for this event.
