Contests<br />
Prizes announced for 22nd Century<br />
Media’s Holiday Card Contest<br />
Entrants have two<br />
opportunities to<br />
win: Best in Show,<br />
Funniest<br />
Bill Jones, Managing Editor<br />
Oh, so you’re those kind<br />
of gift-givers, huh? Don’t<br />
want to send us a card until<br />
you know what you might<br />
get in return?<br />
That’s not exactly in the<br />
Christmas spirit, but we get<br />
it.<br />
The 2018 Holiday Card<br />
Contest is already underway,<br />
but this week we promised<br />
the announcement of prizes.<br />
And, as promised, you will<br />
find the full prize list for<br />
each category in the accompanying<br />
sidebar.<br />
As a recap, the contest<br />
asks you to send us your best<br />
homemade Christmas cards,<br />
the most boastful of yearend<br />
letters (snark the halls, if<br />
that’s your thing), children’s<br />
drawings to be left with<br />
cookies for Santa, photos of<br />
your co-workers in reindeer<br />
antlers and noses, crafty<br />
Kwanzaa greetings or Hanukkah<br />
Hallmarks — basically,<br />
whatever it is you send<br />
to your loved ones to make<br />
sure they get something in<br />
the mail around the holidays<br />
other than stale fruitcakes<br />
from distant relatives, magazine<br />
subscription renewal<br />
notices and Columbia House<br />
compact discs.<br />
Whatever it is you do for<br />
the people you love during<br />
the holidays (just the PG-<br />
13 stuff, please), simply address<br />
these things to Managing<br />
Editor Bill Jones, and<br />
mail them to 11516 W. 183rd<br />
St. Unit SW Office Condo<br />
3, Orland Park, IL, 60467.<br />

Schmitz said. “I’m not really<br />
too familiar with what’s<br />

a little more information.”<br />
This was the last community<br />
workshop in this stage of<br />
development. Soon the Village<br />
will begin establishing<br />
a more formal outline with<br />
drafts and a written plan,<br />
which will be shared with the<br />
community along the way.<br />
He also noted that with any<br />
type of large project, no matter<br />
how far down the road,<br />
there are concerns from people<br />
in the community.<br />
“I think what we’ve heard<br />
from people is that we need to<br />
be sensitive in terms of how<br />
we develop that and change<br />
that,” Brown said, “So that<br />
we minimize any impacts<br />
to people that already live<br />
around that property.”<br />
