Communication, exchange of information, news notes, all come together to help form what we do at The Voice. We receive more information than we can fit into allotted space. Nonetheless there are important notes to be included in this space. Continue reading. For example, we should inform the reader:

• Treasurer David J. Rickert, in pursuit of improved efficiency through computer automation, wants us know there is a new tax E-mail and text notification system through the organization’s website.

• The Venue in Aurora continues to bring in excellent entertainment of a great variety. Megon McDonough will visit The Venue, not yet in completion of its first year at 21 S. Broadway in downtown Aurora, at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 22 for the theme of What the World Needs Now, Songs by Burt Bacharach & more. She is a still youthful singer who started as a folk singer in the 1970s and has expanded to many genres.

• Remember to participate in the U.S. Census 2020 and be counted for your community.

• Primary elections in Illinois will be Tuesday, March 17, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., so take time from St. Patrick’s Day food and fun to vote.

• Oswego is expanding its Police Department and will conduct tests in early June to increase the number of officers. The Oswego Citizens Police Academy is taking applications for it Citizens Police Academy.

• Clarification on the piece last week in this space with comments on the late Dan Dolan, 89, who meant so much to Aurora in many ways: He was a sports fan and sponsor, however, the Boys Baseball of Aurora Dolan Field was not named after him. It was named after Bernie Dolan who passed this life many years ago. However, we should have included that his Company, Dolan & Murphy Real Estate, has been a longtime sponsor of a major-division fastpitch team which plays few home games, but, pays visits throughout the Midwest. Just one more example of community participation to pick up where many other nationally-ranked fastpitch teams represented Aurora starting in the 1950s. Thank you to the caller who presented the correct information about the boys baseball field.

Clear and concise, week 10:

• Reveal is a verb, not the noun public relations departments promote.

• Normality, not normalcy.

• Regardless, not irregardless.

• Opportunity, not chance.
