What Our Readers Say
The Lombard Lilac Ledger is built by and for our community. Here's what our neighbors have to say.
"I subscribe to the Lilac Ledger because it gives me everything going on in my area all in one spot. I do not have to dig through Facebook to see what is happening around Villa Park, Lombard, and Glen Ellyn. I love that it has all three towns' info in one."
Villa Park Resident
Lilac Ledger Subscriber
"I am REALLY enjoying your new Lombard and surrounding towns NEWSLETTER....it's SO great because you include everything in ONE newsletter instead of residents trying to find out all these events separately OR, like I frequently did, find out about an event when it was ALREADY OVER. Just wanted to say GREAT JOB and please keep it up! It's fantastic, and having produced newsletters before, I know VERY WELL how much WORK this is! I appreciate it!"
