SPRING 2022
Township Supervisor RANDY FUNK
Happy Spring! Winter at the Algonquin Township was busy with the return of AARP Tax Preparation, hosting Covid vaccination clinics, and assisting with Emergency Rent and Utility programs. As the weather warms up, it is time for spring cleaning! Mark your calendars for the spring shredding event on Saturday, April 2 from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. The First Specialized Recycling event will be April 30 from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. See inside for complete details and dates. New projects for 2022 include a facelift for the Lake Avenue Cemetery in Crystal Lake, in coordination with the Historical Society. There are also projects planned to enhance and improve the Township community rooms. And back by popular demand, the Touch-a-Truck Event will be August 20 – save the date!

The Township remembers resident Ray Parnell for the 10 years he directed the Duplicate Bridge Club at the Algonquin Township. Ray made the game a challenge for himself and his club members. He was a wonderful teacher and taught bridge classes to help others become bridge enthusiasts. Fellow bridge players are planting a tree in his memory this Spring at the Township.
