First, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Rudy Espinosa, the webmaster for the Villa Park Chamber of Commerce. I freelance and offer small business website services. You can visit my website for more information at www.onfx.com. My wife and I are originally from Chicago. I grew up near Chicago and Pulaski. My wife lived in Logan Square when we met. We are now raising our family in Villa Park. We love the village of Villa Park and have made some great friends in this great town. When we moved in, our block threw a welcome party for us!
I met Alesia Bailey, the executive director for the chamber, when I joined in 2007 and we have enjoyed working together ever since.

Life Long Learning League Hosts FREE Concert for Make a Difference Day to Benefit the Villa Park VFW Post 2801 Wheelchair Ramp Project!
The Villa Park Lifelong League hosted a FREE concert at the VFW Hall featuring The Bashful Brothers Band!
The crowd was treated to pork sandwiches courtesy of the VFW. In return, they showed their appreciation of our Vets by donating $385.00 to be used to help build a wheel chair ramp to access the building.

Villa Park Post 2801 will once again be hosting Naval Recruits from Great Lakes Naval Base for a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner.
This year, 1400 recruits will be hungry for a hot meal. Unfortunately, many of the area VFW’s cannot afford to feed them. Our very own VFW has agreed to take 200 recruits this year. They need your support, and so do the 1200 others who might be left behind.
In order to feed the 200 guests, the menu requires 80 turkeys, and 100 lbs of mashed potatoes. Thanks to Post Commander Dennis Geiseman he has obtained the support from Maggiano’s to cook all the turkeys and hams at their restaurant, and will even donate the mashed potatoes!
