Helping Our Heroes 
The Realtors Association of NorthWest Chicagoland and Weathersfield Lakes Association have joined forces to assist Helping Our Heroes (HOH). Helping Our Heroes is a program dedicated to raising money to help active duty Illinois military personnel in financial distress. Helping Our Heroes is sponsored by the Realtors Association of NorthWest Chicagoland Charitable Foundation. There are over 800 families of active duty Illinois military personnel facing financial hardship, foreclosure, and eviction from their homes. THEY NEED HELP!
The Association has placed a green recycling box in the parking lot of the Weathersfield Lakes Clubhouse, 130 N. Salem in Schaumburg which is 2 blocks north of Schaumburg Road. Helping Our Heroes will be paid for all clothing collected. They do not accept furniture. This box provides a great opportunity for the community to recycle their old clothes and shoes. All donations help fund Helping Our Heroes.
We also have a box located at my office, 2311 W. Schaumburg in Schaumburg, at the corner of Schaumburg Road and Knollwood behind the BP Gas Station.
OR I can come and pick up donations at your home if needed.OUR ILLINOIS MILITARY NEEDS YOUR HELP IF YOU CAN!

Bartlett is a great small community located in Cook, DuPage and a small part in Kane Counties. The population was 37,000 by the 2002 census and has definitely grown from the original 360 in 1900. Bartlett was incorporated in 1891 after Luther Bartlett who offered the right of way thru his land to the Chicago and Pacific railroad. The village has retained it's original railroad station built in 1873 in the downtown area. The commuter station is the Metra Milwaukee West Line.
Bartlett Bike Path System is 19.6 miles and is a favorite with cyclists.
The Village owns and operates Bartlett Hills Golf Course. The 18 hole course includes a full-service clubhouse and restaurant. The course is primarily funded by user fees and a small portion of the property tax bill. Villa Olivia Country Club operates an 18 hole golf course which includes a clubhouse, banquet facility and downhill ski hills for regular skiing and snowboarding. Snow is produced as necessary for the hill which is literally very "cool".
Forest preserve and nature sanctuaries include extensive acreage from the District of Cook and DuPage Counties. Tri-County State Park is also 541 acres.
All public schools are entirely within District U46. U46 serves an area of some 90 square miles and almost 40,000 children are within it's boundaries. U-46 is the 2nd largest school district in Illinois.
The list average price of single family homes in Bartlett is $397,800. The average price of "multi-family" homes which would include townhomes, condos, etc. is $251,400. Obviously there are homes in all prices ranges to choose from, those were just the averages.
This is just a short overview of a great town named Bartlett.
