What Has Knollwood Neighbors Accomplished?

We’ve sponsored annual Community Potluck Picnics for the past five years. We commissioned and installed two custom “Welcome to Knollwood” signs on Waukegan Road and two benches at the West School playground. We founded the Knollwood Garden Club. We launched a community newsletter, FYI Knollwood. We started a New Neighbor Program, in which new residents are greeted with useful information and helpful products and coupons. We’ve formed good relationships with the School District, the Park District, and our state and local elected officials, to ensure that we are kept “in the loop” about any actions concerning Knollwood.

What Does Knollwood Neighbors Do With Membership Dues?

We put on popular community events like picnics and holiday celebrations. We publish a quarterly newsletter, FYI Knollwood, and mail it to members. New members also receive a copy of our “Welcome to Knollwood” booklet. We send occasional mailings to all of Knollwood to encourage membership and to notify people of upcoming events. We welcome ideas from members about what they’d like their community organization to be doing!
