Talking Wilde with Kevin
Hello Wilde Lake Residents,
Congratulations to Wilde Lake residents who volunteer on committees and the Village Board. Your time and expertise is
extremely valuable and appreciated. Please continue to offer your thoughts and concerns as the Village local election
nears.
I hope you will help meet the 10% quorum of votes needed to validate the Village election results. Please watch for the
election newsletter and absentee ballot in your mail in late March/early April. Complete it and return the postage paid
ballot as soon as possible. Another option is to vote in person at Slayton House on April 30. Your vote truly counts!
I am excited to announce that Wilde Lake CARES is organizing a special event for election day – the inaugural
Community Plant Exchange. A community-wide FREE event where you can trade your extra or unwanted seedlings,
seeds and plants for seedlings, seeds and plants donated by other gardeners. It encourages reuse, recycling, resource
sharing and information exchange and is open to anyone. Ultimately, it is a great way to add variety to your garden.
Contact committee Chair, Bess Caplan at [email protected] for more details.
Respectfully,
Kevin McAliley
Chair, Wilde Lake Village Board
