to rebuild the Clearmont Bridge by Salt Creek. The bridge cost is $2.1 million and the Village

purchased ten (10) $100 gift certificates that will be handed out at 7:15 p.m. before the concert.
If you do not have the green ribbon, please bring another item that is green such as a piece of
gift wrap ribbon or a piece of paper or string that can be turned in. You must be present to get
your gift certificate.
Elk Grove Village Job Fair — As we are coming out of the pandemic, the businesses are having
a difficult time getting employees back to work due to the elevated unemployment benefits. On
September 6, the extended unemployment benefits will run out. Elk Grove Village is partnering

Page 5 of 6
is a 55-piece established band that was organized in 2015 and is looking for assistance in
locating a rehearsal spot for the band. The Northwest Concert Band can be of great value to the
community by providing quality live entertainment at festivals, car shows, Farmers Markets,
business openings, holiday ceremonies and celebrations such as July 4th concerts, parades and
commemorations like Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Would Elk Grove Village be interested in having our organization as a viable part of its
community. We are aware that you did at one time have a band as well. Would you like to
have another band of your very own again? Would you be open to further discussion regarding
this?
Mayor asked if they are strictly instrumental or do they offer vocal performances? They have
done concerts with community and church choirs. Mayor asked since they are The Northwest
Concert Band, if you became part of a community would that name change? Yes. Mayor will
have staff review the request and Judy Cittadino will be the point of contact for the Village to
follow-up with comments. The Village Hall does not have the space to practice and it was
recommended to reach out to the Township, Park District or local churches such as Queen of
the Rosary.

has done for the board meetings and Channel 6.
