Yesterday afternoon, an unmarked grey cargo van was seen parked with a driver in it for an extended period, near the corner on Sarazen Ct. facing Bobby Jones Ln. The driver was a young man not known to area residents, who seemed to be texting.

PLEASE be on the alert and call the Woodridge Police to investigate if you see unfamiliar vehicles or people hanging around our neighborhood.

We will once again be holding our neighborhood wide block party from 4pm to dusk on Green Trails right at Greene road (next to the Seven Bridges Park -- yes, the road will be blocked off from 2pm for setup through dusk). We’ll have food, moon jumps, face painting, music.

Hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken, chips, pop & water will be served. Please bring a side or dessert to share.

The cost is $25 per family for advance sign-up (online or with a check, non-refundable) or $10 per person on-site. Please pay online or drop a check off with Cathie Bucek at 6332 Bobby Jones.

Make sure to bring your lawn chairs & blankets too.

Questions? Call 630.375.7755 (voicemail) or email info@mysevenbridges.com

Rain day will be Sunday August 29th if needed.

We need your help!
We have team leaders set but we need volunteers to help with our sign-in table, assist with the moon jumps or grilling & food setup.
If you're able to lend a hand, please let us know at info@mysevenbridges.com which area(s) you can help with and the coordinator for that team will contact you.

The next board meeting will be held on Thursday, August 19th at 6:30 pm at the Seven Bridges Golf Club.

Please rsvp if you plan to attend.

Following a public open house and survey period, the Board of Commissioners of the DuPage Forest Preserve District voted to allocate $1.3 million to stabilize the Green Farm Barn at Hobson and Greene Roads. When additional funds are available, further renovations will convert the building into a multipurpose open space and a rental area for recreational equipment, such as bicycles and cross-country skis. A number of local residents and I served on a Citizen’s Advisory Board which recommended that the barn be saved and opened some day as a multi-purpose facility. This was the original intent of Greene family members when they deeded the property to the district.

The district’s decision is great news for residents in the area. This historical site will not continue to disintegrate and be in danger demolition. Local residents will continue to enjoy the history and rustic beauty of the barn and can look forward to improvement of the property. A big thank you goes to Carl Schultz , Forest Preserve District Commissioner, who has championed the preservation of the barn and who assembled the advisory board. Carl has worked hard to make sure that local residents’ voices were heard on this issue.

On Tuesday night, June 15th, a guest left a car on the street overnight at 6428 Bobby Jones Ln. Someone smashed the rear window of the car in the night. The police feel it was done by a BB gun. If anyone has any information about this, please contact Diane Janowski 630-416-8815 or d.janowski@comcast.net.

From the Village of Woodridge:

As a friendly reminder to our residents, the improvement in the weather means that more people will be using sidewalks to get around town. Travel on sidewalks can be made difficult by overgrown bushes and shrubbery or low branches on trees. If this is the case near your home, please trim this landscaping so that the sidewalk is easily traversed. Additionally, please make sure that any cars parked at your home do not obstruct the sidewalk. The Police Department often gets calls regarding cars parked over sidewalks. Avoiding cars parked this way saves your neighbors from making a call and you a possible fine of $30! Please do your part so that we all can enjoy using the sidewalks this summer.

All homeonwers are invited to attend the monthly board meeting this Sunday, May 23, 2010 at 6:00 pm at the Seven Bridges Golf Club, One Mulligan Drive, Woodridge.

Seven Bridges Residents!

Your feedback is critical to the future of the Greene Barn. Please click on the link of the DuPage Forest Preserve District (below) and go to the picture of the barn at the right. Under the picture is a link to a pubic survey. Please click on the link for the survey and share your views. This is your chance to have say in the disposition of the Greene Farm on Hobson across from our subdivision. (Perhaps a final chance to voice your opinion!)
