The Honorable Kenneth Fulton will be recognized on the evening of April 29th, at an event hosted by the President, [[Page 7827]] Clerk, and Trustees of the Village of Tinley Park.

These accomplishments include the first Cable TV contract for the Village and the region and the development of the concept of life safety assistance through the establishment of defibrillator equipment to be placed in all Police and Fire Department vehicles.
