This is an artist's rendition of what the Schaumburg Park District's clubhouse and banquet facility will look like when it's completed. The building will sit on a 205-acre tract of land, formerly Golden Acres, a 27-hole golf course.

Following that are a couple of money-related articles, Enterprise Funds, by Terry G. Schwartz on page 17, and Money Talks by Kris Mikkelsen on page 19, and how to get the most out of it.
Another cost-saving outline is explained on page 26 in an article. Let The Utility Companies Pay For Retrofits, by Judith Zopp.
