Edwina Perkins, Board of Trustees and the Honorable Village Clerk Viola 
Mims, and other dignitaries as they gather on Wednesday, December 14th

activities, information and healthy meals for the 250 members. During 
2016, these 250 members had exercise sessions, visited Brookfield Zoo 
and the DuSable Museum of African American History, interacted with 
Promise East High School during Black History Month and benefitted from 
programs sponsored by the Secretary of State of Illinois and

  I commend the Maywood Seniors Club and urge them to keep their 
spirits high.
