Since purchasing property at Bayles Lake just west of Loda, Gary Precin and his family have embraced the communityâs restoration initiative: planting trees, protecting wildlife, picking up trash.
That push continues with a fundraiser on July 4 highlighted by a visit from two Super Bowl champs from the Chicago Bears. Dan Hampton and Otis Wilson will be on hand for nine holes of golf at Lakeview Country Club, a lunchtime autograph session, a free concert by the Chicago 6 and a steak dinner at Murdockâs Place in Loda.
Hampton and his wife, Gina, didnât hesitate when asked to help by Precin, general manager of Joe Rizza Ford in Orland Park. Gina has family on Bayles Lake and is familiar with the tree-planting project. The area offers âpeace and therapy, away from the hustle and bustle,â she said. âWeâre glad to help.â
