On June 1, the Village raised the LGBTQ Pride flag at our buildings and placed Pride banners at the corner of Deerfield and Waukegan Roads.
Mayor Shapiro will present a Pride Month Proclamation at the June 6 Board meeting to a Deerfield-based PFLAG group that has been meeting in the Village for more than 25 years.
