25 years ago, The United States and the world changed forever.  Many of us remember the exact moment, location, and day as though it was yesterday.  Some were here at Willowbrook, some were at another school or location, many were too young to remember or perhaps not born yet.
Regardless of where you were or your experiences since, we as a collective group remember those who were lost on September 11, 2001, and those who have given their lives in the years since that date.  

We remember the firefighters, police officers, civilians and military personnel who recognized they were a part of something bigger than just themselves.

We remember the families, children, students who remained and who live a legacy built by those heroes.

And since that date, we have come to recognize September 11th of each year as Patriot’s Day.On this date we remember that no matter our race, ethnicity, religion, and opinions, we all stand united for freedom and thank those who fight on our behalf each day to protect it.  Because that is the commitment we hold dear as citizens, as human beings, as Warriors.

Thank you to everyone who made last night’s 9/11 pre-game ceremony so powerful and memorable:

1. Our Honorary Captains: Villa Park Firefighter/Paramedic, Andy Fillip and Villa Park Police Sgt, Timothy Walsh.
2. Our Villa Park Fire Fighters and Villa Park Police Offers in Attendance.
3. Our JROTC Color Guard for presenting our Nation’s Colors.
4. WBHS Trumpet Player, Christina Legutki, for her performance of Taps.
5. Steve Larue and his bagpipe performance of Amazing Grace
6. Our Willowbrook Marching Warriors for their performance of our National Anthem.
7. Joe Pearson (Joe Pearson) for his outstanding photography.

Thank you again Warriors and always remember, silver and Red and White and Blue, through and through.

It was exciting to see 302 Villa Park officially open its doors in August! The Village was happy to support the restaurant's expansion into Villa Park by providing a Façade Improvement Grant to help cover the costs of new signs and awnings.

Did you know that the Village has introduced three new TIF grant programs to assist with façade, tenant, and site improvements? These grants are available to business and property owners located within one of Villa Park’s six active TIF districts, which includes most of the Village's commercial properties. TIF funds can match up to 50% of eligible expenses, with reimbursements of up to $25,000 available. This means that up to $75,000 in grant funds is accessible! You can learn more about TIF grants here: https://ow.ly/7KW150ZMcT9.

Thank you again to 302 Group for choosing Villa Park!
