Thank you, Hearts of Gold winners

Each year in Arlington Heights we have the opportunity to recognize individuals who take the extra steps to make our village the special place it is, and thus have a heart of gold.

There are multiple categories, from volunteer and heroic hearts of gold, to young at heart and young champion hearts of gold, and several others. It is a testament to the strength of our community, as we are not just the village of Arlington Heights in name, but the village of Arlington Heights that has spirit, a spirit of dedication, service, sacrifice and giving.

I am so proud of this year's Hearts of Gold winners, especially my friends Pat and Nancy Moroney. I know that each of our Hearts of Gold winners has gone above and beyond, and Pat and Nancy are in that class as well.

I am writing this to personally thank Pat and Nancy for all they have done and will continue to do for our village, as they have truly made a difference in many lives. I hope as 2010 rolls forward that we remember that Hearts of Gold spirit and add to it in our own special way. We are very fortunate to live in such a great village with so many wonderful people; I am honored to call this my home.
