Mr. Trent Solorio DePue Men’s Club DePue, IL 61322

Trent,

Congratulations to the DePue Men’s Club for hosting the 2023 APBA/US Title Series Pro Nationals. The club does a wonderful job and our community is very proud of your efforts. As a village, we are very appreciative of everything your club has done for many years.

I want to congratulate you, Trent, as the newly-elected President and all of the newly-elected officers. I am sure you and the club will continue the great job that the DePue Men’s Club has become known for. Its many achievements and successes are the envy of a lot of clubs. The Village of DePue is behind you and your club 100 percent. We will work together to make this year’s event a success.

Meanwhile, the struggle to save Lake DePue continues. It has been a long battle and we continue to fight to preserve this great treasure. Our DePue CAG, led by Tom Dobrich and CAG members, will do the best job possible. With help the Northwestern University Law School and Blum Legal Clinic led by Rob Weinstock and Leah Song, we continue to push for a complete restoration of the lake. We urge your club and the residents of the Village of DePue, along with other area residents, to help us fight the battle for Lake DePue restoration.

As young kids, we grew up with the Pro Nationals and we continue to whole heartedly support them. The good that it has brought to our Village of DePue and surrounding towns is truly amazing. The fans of these races love this event, support this event and support your club. Thank you to these fans. I urge all of these fans to help support the DePue Men’s Club and the Village of DePue so we can continue bringing them these races.

Finally, thank you to the many volunteers who help the success of this event, without them it would not be possible. “WE ARE DEPUE” and remain DePue Strong!
