VOP Fall Winter 2014

AROUND TOWN

OPEN LANDS GOLF OUTING The Village of Orland Park held its annual golf outing at Silver Lake Country Club to benefit Open Lands of Orland Park. Orland Park Mayor Dan McLaughlin created the village’s Open Land Commission in 1995 to purchase and preserve natural areas and those with unique heritage qualities in the Village of Orland Park. For nearly 20 years, the commission has purchased and protected more than 276 acres of land, equivalent to almost 300 football fields of preserved open space. The event continues to draw support for the Open Lands of Orland Park and has become a much anticipated annual gathering.
