Best of Hoffman

Each month the Hoffman Estates Park District staff and commissioners review the district's volunteers and participants, searching for men, women and children who best exemplify the interests of the park district. These people are then recognized as the Best of Hoffman at a Park Board meeting and presented with a Board proclamation. We are lucky and honored to be affiliated with these individuals.

To show our thanks and appreciation, we would like to present Givaudan Flavors Corporation with our Best of Hoffman award for March 2010.

 

 

February 2010

 

The Hoffman Estates Park District and Prairie Stone Sports and Wellness Center has named KinderCare at Prairie Stone the Best of Hoffman for the month of February for helping them us throughout the year.
With several large events taking place at Prairie Stone and a limited number of parking spaces, we have often had to turn to our neighboring businesses to ask for assistance. KinderCare has always been extremely accommodating with all of our requests to use their parking lot when necessary.
We appreciate the positive relationship we have with KinderCare and hope that our relationship continues for years to come.
