Warner
Fifteen Baird & Warner
agents from Downers
Grove, Frankfort, La-
Grange, and Orland Park
gathered at St. Coletta’s
on May 22 to help clean
up landscaping at several
group homes located in the
southwest suburbs. Each
group was assigned a home
where they pulled weeds,
laid down stone, spread
mulch and helped clean up
any branches or debris that
landed in the yards from
the recent rain storms.
