This year's 5K is scheduled for Sunday, October 23rd. Click here to preregister by October 21st.

The race was lots of fun last year, with many whole familes running together. For those who are less competitive, we'll also have a Family Fun Run following the 5K. Join us!

The picnic is tomorrow, and we're excited! The weather's going to be great, the food will be too, and we are especially excited about the 9/11 Observance we're planning for 3:30. Guests will include a Naval Color Guard from Great Lakes, as well as the Lake Forest High School Ceremonial Brass quintet. Hope to see you there!

We're almost ready ... the picnic is 2 weeks from Sunday! Everything is falling into place - lots of great raffle items are coming in.

We decided at our meeting last night to hold the 5K race on a later date. Too many conflicts with other race. We're aiming for mid-October - more details to come.

We've posted our June 2011 newsletter - click here to read it for news of interest to Knollwood residents.

Be sure to read our most recent email update for timely information on the Lake County Forest Preserves' Native Plant Sale, compost bin and rain barrel offer, SWALCO's household waste collection event, and more.

Starting with the December issue, FYI Knollwood is going online! We'll send an e-mail to our members with excerpts and post the full articles on our website. Three of our four issues each year will be electronic; the fourth one, in September, will still be a print newsletter that will be mailed to all Knollwood residents.

We had a great attendance, as usual - gave out about 200 hot dogs! Check out the pictures on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=25275&id=125343794179585
