Dear Round Lake Resident,
We would like to announce our newest mascot, "SEEMORE" the eagle. "SEEMORE" is the mascot to the Eagle Eye^SM Neighborhood Watch Program. The program encourages residents to report crime and suspicious activity in their neighborhood parks in an effort to make them safer and cleaner for everyone to enjoy. This program educates park patrons and neighboring residents on what they should do when they see evidence of criminal activity, vandalism, rowdiness and other antisocial behavior in parks. It does not encourage them to take matters into their own hands.

Keep an eagle eye for "SEEMORE". He plans to introduce himself in the Round Lake area at many upcoming park district functions as well as other community gatherings and events. As always, I welcome your continued input regarding the safety and security of our parks and properties. You may contact me at either 847-740-5102 or by
Sincerely, Keith Kalodimos, Chief Ranger

Be a Good Park Neighbor.
Report suspicious activities by calling CENCOM (847) 270-9111 or 911.
