Anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of local government and how to get more information from it when necessary is being invited to a Better Government Association (BGA) "Watchdog Training" event in Naperville on April 24.

The event, sponsored by DuPage County and the League of Women Voters Naperville, will primarily focus on the Freedom of Information and the Open Meetings acts. The BGA will also examine community involvement, vigilance and awareness of government practices.

The free event is open to the public and will begin at 7 p.m. at the DuPage Unitarian Universalist Church. Registration is required.

For more information, contact Annum Haider at (312) 821-9031 or email ahider@bettergov.org.
