The Naperville Park District finally received the memorial plaque for Ellen, and it's now in place by the tree, which is an Amelanchier .
Thanks to all who donated, and especially to Rose for handling the collection and Jay for making the arrangements with the Park district. Jay also put together a flyer with a map, in case you want directions to check it out in person:
Here's a panorama of the location back in March when we picked it out, based on the recommendation from Ellen's friend Bonnie:
And here's the spot now, with the tree and the plaque in place, and summer greenery:

Because of the June Camp weekend in Beloit we will not be meeting to dance in Downers Grove on Friday June 3. We plan to dance the Friday before (Memorial Day weekend) as usual, and the Friday after (June 10) we should have some newly-learned dances to practice and share.
