Eagle Scout Project Approved for Township Grounds

At the October 28, 2013 Board Meeting the Board approved a project for Eagle Scout candidate Robert Jacques – BSA Troop 182, Palatine.  The project would be to create 3 raised planting beds in the grassy area north of the township parking lot.  The purpose of the project is to provide fresh produce for the food pantry to distribute to clients.  The food pantry will be consulted to determine which crops to plant.  Eagle Scout candidate Jacques will be responsible for soliciting donations to cover all costs, labor, materials and equipment.  Jacques anticipates completion of the beds by late March to take advantage of the entire growing season.
