Hello,
We are Riverside residents and need your help. Our son Ethan has a rare terminal nuerological disorder. Hannah’s Hope Fund for GAN is up for voting for a $250k Pepsi Refresh Grant. You can vote twice a day till 08-31-2010. We have moved up from 13th place last week to 6th place today. Please forward this email to ALL of all of your email and Facebook contacts. We are on target to begin a clinical trial in the Fall of 2011 to treat these children with gene therapy, else they will progress and die in their teens or early 20′s after becoming quadriplegics, dependent on feeding tubes and ventilators. This money will go toward paying for the FDA required efficacy and safety studies in order to gain approval to begin a human clinical trial.
With deep appreciation,
Gelse and John Tkalec
You can vote 2 ways each day:
1) vote daily by texting 101885 to recipient 73774 (stands for pepsi).
2) vote on-line daily from valid email addresses at www.refresheverything.com/hannahshopefund
(After you press the ‘VOTE FOR THIS IDEA’ button, you’ll see a tiny Facebook and Twitter button. If you press the facebook button, you will be able to establish a link so you can easily vote from within facebook every day so you don’t forget.)
____________________________________________
Please ask everyone you know to get at least 20 people to VOTE EVERY DAY for Hannah’s Hope Fund to win a $250k Pepsi Refresh grant! Also, ask that they get 20 people to vote… the snowball effect is the only way Hannah’s Hope Fund will win this!
We are competing against the other $250k applicants because only the top two applicants in this funding category that get the most votes, get the funding! So, please only vote for Hannah’s Hope Fund in the $250k category. Get your kids voting too! College friends,
co-workers and neighbors, old high school friends, book clubs, girl and boy scout troops, baseball teams etc. Ask veryone you can think of and also ask that they post it to their facebook page.
Hello Riverside, Illinois!
My name is Sofía Lerke, and I’m from Argentina.
I’m looking for my grand father Tytus Lerke that lives in 108 E Burlington Street. I can’t reach him on the phone or by mail, and I’m starting to get really nervous.
Any neighbors of him out there who can maybe tell him to contact me?
Thank you very much.
Sofía Lerke.
Buenos Aires, Argentina.

We need your help to save the Arcade Building in Riverside! (Not your money, just your voice and a few minutes to send a letter or email of support.)
Since mid-August 2008, the historic Arcade Building (constructed in 1871) has sat largely vacant and exposed to the elements, left abruptly in mid-renovation by a court order freezing the assets of its owners. Efforts of our Village Manager and Attorney to convince the court-appointed receiver to secure and heat the building have as of yet been unsuccessful.
We are trying to get the Arcade Building designated as an “Endangered Building” by both the National Trust for Historic Preservation and with Landmarks Illinois.
It is our hope that the designations will persuade the receiver and/or the court to release funds necessary to, at a minimum, protect the landmark Arcade Building from the elements this winter. If the National Trust and Landmarks Illinois ultimately list the Arcade Building as “Endangered,” it will receive statewide and national attention that may attract a responsible preservation-minded purchaser.
HOW TO HELP
(1) Please join our Facebook group (“Save Riverside Arcade” – http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=40143321845). If you are not on Facebook, skip to Step 2.
(2) Visit our blog (http://saveriversidearcade.blogspot.com/), where you will find background information on the imperiled Arcade Building, along with sample letters that you can customize and send to the Village Commissioner who is submitting the nomination packages.
(3) Print, sign, and send your letters (or send via email) no later than December 17, 2008.
Thank you for your help!

I live in Scotland and I am looking for relatives who lived in Scottswood Road, Riverside IL in the 1930s.
Apart from information from the 1930s American census I have had no success in finding any other relevant information which would help me locate the Simpson/Warren families.
My relatives lived at 156 Scottswood Rd. Riverside IL.
In the 1930s my great great uncle Mr George Simpson lived there with his daughter Marybell and her husband Paul Warren. We know they had one son also named Paul who would have been about six at that time. Beyond this I have no more information.
It is a matter of some importance that I locate the family. I would therefore be most obliged if anyone could supply me with any information that would help me do this.
