The Annual Meeting of the Lake County Center for Independent Living (LCCIL) took place on November 29, 2012 at the United Methodist Church in Libertyville. The new Board of Directors was introduced and key accomplishments of the previous year were highlighted. About 100 consumers, family members, elected officials and others attended.
Three awards were given in three categories. The Volunteer of the Year named was David Barcal, who accepted his award by phone since he was in Missouri. The Community Excellence Award went to Grant Township Center, in honor of their new ADA playground. It was affectionately called the “Field of Dreams” following much fundraising and volunteer effort. Supervisor Kay Starostovic accepted the award for the Township. The final award, the Ed Roberts award went to Chris Hradisky. The Ed Roberts award is named after the “Father of Independent Living”.
