A WORD FROM THE SUPERVISOR...William M. Mayer

Hello Friends,

I cannot believe it’s that time of year again, but I want to be one of the first to wish you “Happy Holidays!” One of the greatest things about our community is the diversity of our residents, so no matter which holidays you are celebrating this year, know that the Levy Center is here to celebrate with you.

The staff and elected officials at DuPage Township are tirelessly “Working for You”… RIGHT NOW! We are able to collaborate with community organizations to provide you with many FREE programs, such as MEALS ON WHEELS, ENERGY ASSISTANCE , and A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH WILL COUNTY SENIOR SERVICES SATELLITE OFFICE AT THE TOWNSHIP. I encourage all of you to take advantage of these services, and reach out to the Levy Center if there are any additional services you need.

I had so much fun at the Halloween party! We saw some very creative costumes this year. I was impressed! I especially liked all of the 60s costumes I saw. The trustees enjoyed looking at pictures from the event, as well!

We also had a GREAT job fair! Many unemployed residents were able to make connections with various companies in and around our community. We thank all of our community partners for showing up!

I was so sorry to have missed the Hawaii trip. From the stories I’ve heard and the pictures I’ve seen, it looks like you guys had a great time! I am hoping I will be able to make it on the next trip. I have always wanted to go to Memphis… maybe we can go there next year!

From my family to yours, I wish you the very best Christmas and the happiest New Year!!

Sincerely,Bill MayerDuPage Township Supervisor

Having made a career of seducing rich older women, he marries a wealthy woman more than twice his age. 25 years later, spoiled and bored from waking up next to his now 80-year-old wife-he gets the surprise of his life when she ends up dumping him for a younger car salesman. Forced out of his mansion and

desperate for a place to stay, he must move in with his estranged sister, Sara, (SALMA HAYEK) and her nerdy but adorable son, Hugo in their small apartment. Anxious to return to the lap of luxury, Maximo uses his nephew’s crush on a classmate to get to his new target-her grandmother, Celeste, a widowed billionaire. As Maximo tries to rekindle his powers as a Latin lover, he finds himself bonding with his nephew Hugo, and he begins to learn that being a Latin lover means that loving money isn’t as important as the love of your family. Super cute film. I’m sure you will have some great laughs! ADVANCED SIGN UP IS REQUIRED!!

Dinner with Lynne!WHERE: LONGHORN - BOLINGBROOK WHEN: JANUARY 23

TIME: 4:30 PM FEE: $1 LIMIT: 40Born of fire, tested by ice, confirmed by legions of loyal guests each day, LongHorn Steakhouse® has grown to become the undisputed home for great steak done right. Founded in 1981 in Atlanta, Georgia, the restaurant began with one man’s pas-sion for perfect steak but had very few guests to convince. Then a freak snowstorm hit Atlanta in 1982, stranding motorists and drawing them to one of the only hospitable places available - a restaurant then called LongHorn Steaks Restaurant & Saloon. Tales of expertly grilled steaks soon spread like wildfire, and the legend of LongHorn was born.

By 1990, the restaurant had spread throughout the East, Midwest and Southwest United States and Puerto Rico. In 2007, the restaurant, now called LongHorn Steakhouse, was purchased by Darden Restaurants, Inc.They strive to be the best steakhouse in everything they do. One visit and you’ll experience the grill master’s Legendary Steaks like their center-cut Flo’s Filet or Prime Rib. Try bold flavors from their Peak Season and Chef’s Showcase menu, or signature entrees like Parmesan Crusted Chicken or LongHorn Salmon And don’t forget to save room for some Molten Lava Cake.

Did I mention they specialize in thirst-quenching Margaritas and specialty drinks? Try one of their popular Strawberry Mar-garitas or signature Perfect Margaritas.

BREAKFAST WITH BILLWHEN: JANUARY 16 TIME: 10:00 AM FEE: FREE LIMIT: 150
