Grateful for Lisa Stone's help and encouragement

I am writing this letter in support of Lisa Stone for Buffalo Grove village trustee.

I first became familiar with Lisa Stone by watching her on the local government channel seeking tighter restrictions on Pit Bull and Rottweiler owners. This one person standing up for her beliefs against all others in order to make a difference in our community impressed me.

I personally met Lisa Stone a few years later, when my daughter started grade school, as co-president of the PTO. I had a desire to become involved with the community, but did not know how to start. It was Lisa who invited me to become a part of the PTO. It was Lisa who asked me to chair two committee positions.

Had it not been for Lisa Stone opening the door for me, I might not have gone on to participate in the PTO for the last nine years or receive the Crystal Apple Volunteer Award.

She has the ability to recognize in others their potential, is relentless in making sure they know what is available to them and is a great motivator.

I know Lisa Stone to be a leader who will work hard, do her homework, and make important decisions thoughtfully. She has shown a sustained commitment to Buffalo Grove through a variety of volunteer positions that cover many of the areas in which village trustees make decisions.

She is a trustworthy and open-minded person who will approach all issues as an advocate for the best interests of the village.

Please vote on April 7th, and please vote for a strong leader in Lisa Stone for Buffalo Grove village trustee.
