We hope you took advantage of all our winter activities and events that we had to offer. With the change of season, the Board of Park Commissioners has also seen changes. Dan Staackmann, who gave this District countless hours, dedication, and leadership resigned from the Board. On behalf of the entire Board of Park Commissioners and staff of the Morton Grove Park District, we wish him the very best in all his future endeavors. Dan's sense of humor, insight and vision will be missed. I am pleased to welcome Dorothy Coletta, who was raised here in Morton Grove, to the Board. Dorothy brings over 20 years of experience working with not-for-profi t boards and public service to the District.
