Friends and Neighbors,
Our block party was a big success--and the question we were most asked was, "What can I do to help?"
The first step is to discuss with each other our vision for the future of West Dundee. We are all Dundee Neighbors!
So join Dundee Neighbors for our village-wide kick-off meeting. We can only succeed if we work together. So this meeting is an opportunity for us all to get together so we can all work together!
What: Dundee Neighbors Monthly Meeting
Where: R Bar's upstairs meeting room (101 W Main St).
When: Tuesday, October 21st, 7:00p.m.
*We are proud to patronize a local business that stood with us when we opposed Wal-Mart.
*Sorry, we're all on our own for food and drink!*
RSVP by commenting or e-mailing, and please, tell your friends and neighbors!

Thank you to everybody who came out for our block party last Saturday. Great times and conversation, about the future of our community, were had by all.
The Dundee Neighbors are Still Here--and Growing!

Friends,
The Dundee Neighbors have not disappeared--in fact, we're growing!
Obviously, we're dissatisfied with the behavior of the Village during the Wal-Mart issue. When people face possible devastation of their home values, degradation of the community character, and a seriously new direction in planning, the process should be more open then a notice and, two months later, a 24-Hour, 200,000 square foot Supercenter and 30 acres of asphalt.
No matter how they try to spin it, that is not an open process. We, the residents who will be most impacted, were left scrambling for time to have the materials reviewed, to retain an attorney, and spent literally hundreds of hours making sure the entire village was kept in the know.
That is not an open process and, frankly, the fact that the Village felt no need to inform us that this massive development was coming in before the legally required notice date demonstrates that they knew we wouldn't be happy, and wanted to avoid involving us. Shameful.
But that's not why we're continuing on--we believe in our community. The outpouring of support from every part of the Village has made it clear that there IS support for a new vision and direction for our wonderful little town.
So we invite you to post a comment, or send an email, letting us know about YOUR ideas for the future of West Dundee--and the kinds of policies YOU would like to see.
Tell us West Dundee--what is on your mind?
Your Friends
The Dundee Neighbors
Keep them coming in

popular support
Since the members of Dundee Neighbors took to the streets less than a month ago, several hundred--you read that right, several hundred--have signed up to join the group in our mission to bring smart, sustainable development to West Dundee--not just short-sighted tax revenue stop-gaps.
Keep them coming in. They want to paint Dundee Neighbors as a NIMBY throwaway, but we know the truth, that hundreds of residents from every part of West Dundee support the rights of residents to have a meaningful say in our Village's future, not just a dog-and-pony show that can get shut down by high-priced slick attorneys.
See you on the pavement!
