DEERFIELD, IL — Dan Shapiro, the new mayor of Deerfield, didn't waste any time Monday night in honoring his predecessor. Just minutes after being sworn in at the Village Board meeting, Shapiro announced the future creation of a new garden dedicated to retiring former Mayor Harriet Rosenthal.
"[She] will be greatly missed by her colleagues, village staff and residents, who know her to be a true friend to Deerfield," Shapiro said as part of an official proclamation honoring Rosenthal.
