Schaumburg Live Work & Play - January/February 2009 - (Page 4) editor’s note he new year offers an opportunity for a fresh start. An opportunity to reflect on the events of the past and look ahead toward the future. Whether you’re looking to shed some pounds, shore up your finances, land that dream job, or spend more time with family, make what is important to you your New Year’s resolution. In this issue, we had the opportunity to talk to some of our most notable Schaumburg area figures and ask them what their New Year’s resolutions are, while providing tips to help you stick to yours. We also take a look at some major events you don’t want to miss in 2009, highlight one of Schaumburg’s funniest places, provide some Valentine’s Day suggestions and highlight a local restaurant where your entourage is always welcome. If you plan on spending the night in Schaumburg, consider the newly renovated Hyatt-Woodfield, just steps from Woodfield Mall. In closure, we would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Schaumburg Police Officer Frank Russo, who recently died in the line of duty. Russo will be dearly missed. See our remembrance story on page 16. As always, thanks for reading and take care.
