Here’s
your chance to help keep a BG cop out of the gutter.
The
Buffalo Grove Police Department is hosting its second annual 'Bowl with a Cop'
event starting at noon on Wednesday, at Bowlero, 350
N McHenry Road in Buffalo Grove. Area children are invited to enjoy
two hours of free bowling with Buffalo Grove police officers.
Police officers across the country have taken
time out to bowl with kids. This is from a Bowl With a Cop event in Hood River, Oregon |
Jay Gordon,
manager of the Buffalo Grove Bowlero, will provide as many lanes and shoe
rentals as needed to ensure the event's success. Bowlero will also be offering
hot dogs and fountain drinks at a discounted rate of $1 each.
If you are interested, pre-registration is encouraged. To
do so, contact Community Relations Officer Matthew Mills at 847-459-2560 or by
e-mail at mmills@vbg.org.
The annual Buffalo Grove / Lincolnshire Relay for Life is
for Saturday, June 9 starting at 3 p.m. at Twin Groves Middle School. As noted
in the Relay’s Facebook page, “…Bring some canned goods with you and drop them
off at registration. Not only will they help hold down our luminaria bags, but
they will be donated after the event to the Vernon Township's Food Pantry! Take
a moment to go on your fundraising page and dedicate a luminaria in honor of a
loved one who has fought cancer.
There are many fundraising teams participating, including
the village’s team coordinated by Deputy Village Manager Jennifer Maltas.
For Maltas, coordinating the village team is not a “work
thing.” Her mom died of breast cancer,
so for Jennifer it’s a way to not only remember her mom, but a way to help in
the fight against Breast Cancer.

And
if you must know…
The Buffalo
Grove Police Department successfully brought awareness to area residents during
its annual Click It or Ticket high-visibility seat belt enforcement campaign, held
May 18 through May 29, by writing a total of 47 citations for seat belt violations
in the process.
Officers
also made two DUI arrests and arrested one motorist for driving while on a suspended
license. The campaign, which coincided with one of the busiest holiday weekends
of the year, was twofold: combine increased enforcement, and a zero- tolerance policy
with effective communications to road users on the importance of using seat belts.
“This year’s
Click It or Ticket campaign was a real success,” Sergeant Michelle Kondrat said.
“Through our enforcement efforts, we believe we helped keep community members safe
and reminded drivers of the importance of buckling up. Issuing tickets was not our
goal; it was a way to remind people of the importance of such a simple action.”
