The Sounds newspaper is accepting “Grad Ads” for Saturday’s issue (June 20th) if you provide the photo and the message by 5:00 PM tomorrow (June 16th).
You may have seen the Grad Ads in the June 6th issue of The Sounds and wished you had placed one for your grad. Now you have the opportunity if you act fast.
Several families from Sauganash Park are placing ads for their grads. Join in the fun.
Grad Ads are 3” x 6” and include a photo of your grad. Cap and gown optional. The text includes the grad’s name, a congratulatory message, where they are graduating from and, optionally, where they are headed. The ads generally end with “Love”, “With love”, “All our love” from the family (Dad, mom, sisters, brothers).
If you’re interested, send a photo and your message to [email protected] . The cost of a grad ad is $22 and you pay online on The Sounds website on the donation page. Select the graduation ad option.
Show support for healthcare professionals by burning a candle outside or in your windows tomorrow night at 7 PM.
You or your children can also color this sheet and tape it to your windows.

Come out and celebrate our nation’s birthday. The parade through Sauganash begins at 9:30 and follows this route.
After the parade we will meet at the park for a celebration. The SPCA will provide hot dogs and the SCA will provide free beer. There will also be music and bounce houses for the kids as well as organized games. How can you beat that?
We will be watching ET at our Summer Movie Night.
The event starts at dusk.

The event is weather permitting.
The SPCA and 7 other civics from the 39th Ward will host an aldermanic candidate forum on Wednesday, March 27th from 7:00 – 8:00 PM at Peterson School.

Learn more about the event on Facebook or submit a question for the candidates here.
We hope to see you there.
Last night at the 1711/12 beat meeting, Police Commander Pontecore agreed to work with us in using a surveillance tree.
If you have cameras on the outside of your home, or a video doorbell, you can join this list. Then, if a crime occurs near your home, police may ask if you’d be willing to share your footage. In this way, you can really assist our officers.
This is a very smart way to connect our isolated systems and create a better surveillance network over our neighborhood that is more useful to the police. We know they are overworked. Let’s help them in the ways that we can.
Please join our E-Neighborhood Watch.
