4 | May 9, 2019 | the tinley Junction news tinleyjunction.com Tinley dance studio a drop-off site for Stuff The Duffel drive Organization created by Crystal Lake woman in honor of A.J. Freund Jacquelyn Schlabach Editor Dancers at T-N-T Extreme Dance in Tinley Park gather around their drop-off box for items being collected for Stuff The Duffel in honor of 5-year-old A.J. Freund of Crystal Lake who was found dead April 24. Photo submitted In the midst of a recent tragedy that has touched nearly the whole state, Chicago-area communities are rallying around each other to heal and provide hope after the death of 5-year-old Crystal Lake boy, A.J. Freund. Tinley Park resident and owner of T-N-T Extreme Dance, Tara Arthur-Jurgovan, has joined 90 other businesses in efforts to shed light on the needs of foster children and bring about something positive during a time of sorrow. T- N-T is one of the drop-off sites for Stuff The Duffel, created by Crystal Lake foster parent Alicia Wehby, which collects items to be given to foster children that are necessities within the first 24 to 48 hours of being placed in a foster home. “I’m hoping it will give other kids that are going through some kind of familiar circumstances as A.J. went through with the hope that there are people out there that do care, and that hopefully more families will open up their hearts and their doors to these kids so they are taken away and provided the necessities of life,” Arthur-Jurgovan said. Freund was reported missing by his parents on April 18, just six days before his father allegedly led police to his body on April 24. The 5-year-old was reportedly in foster care for 18 months after he was born in October 2013. His parents have both been charged with his murder. “We always try to find an organization every year to help out, like last year we did GiGi’s Playhouse and then this year we chose to do Stuff The Duffel,” Arthur-Jurgovan said.

Brudd was appointed to serve as commissioner to the human resources commission on March 5, 1973, according to the Facebook post. In 1986, she was appointed as the co-chairperson of the human resources commission. “Her participation as Commissioner has led to countless new programs and projects and contributed over 20,000 hours of volunteer work,” the Facebook post read. Brudd was honored twice with awards from the Village of Tinley Park and the German City of Buedingen, for her international Sister City efforts. In 2002, Brudd received a Life Achievement Award from the Chamber of Commerce. Brudd was honored at the Tuesday, May 7 meeting of the Tinley Park Village Board. A resolution was written in her honor and a scholarship in her name is to be formed and awarded to a youth in Tinley who stands out as being a volunteer. The Tinley Park flag at the volunteer kiosk outside of the north entrance of Village Hall was lowered in her honor through Tuesday, May 7. Brudd was 69 years old when she passed away after a battle with cancer. “Reta’s passing marks a sad day for the Village of Tinley Park,” said Mayor Jacob Vandenberg. “Her 46 years of volunteerism does not go unnoticed, and we are grateful that her legacy of getting involved and giving back will live on through future generations of community members rolling up their sleeves and asking, ‘What needs to be done?’ Reta Brudd, a Tinley resident who served as the community resources commission chairperson for the Village of Tinley Park died April 21.
