Thanks to everyone who participated in our Clean Sweep
There is certainly a lot less litter
strewn about the streets of Westchester after our fantastic volunteers swept through town
on May 2!
We had individuals from all over: families; students from St. Joe's, Proviso West and Westchester Middle School; Boy and Cub Scouts; Girl Scouts and Brownies; Indian Guides and Princesses. They collected more than 55 bags of litter throughout town. Members of Westchester Gardens began the big task of weeding our 75 Boulevard Gardens. Read More

Boulevard Gardens project blossomed in 2008
In summer 2008, the WCIC tackled its largest project to date: planting 75 gardens on the medians in Westchester Boulevard.
The Boulevard Gardens project began with the idea to plant small gardens at the ends of each median. That evolved into the
suggestion to let people "adopt" the gardens. Each garden is marked by a plaque that recognizes a family or business.
We soon found ourselves digging dozens of garden plots over the entire summer. We were thrilled the project took off as successfully as it did. Read more
The Westchester Community Image Council is a group of volunteers who are dedicated to enhancing the look of our village and promoting community pride.
Our projects include public gardens, clean-up efforts and other events.

We hope you will join our efforts through membership or other monetary donations, volunteer work, or any other types of contributions that may help us reach our goals.
