Above: The photo for this year’s Crime Prevention calendar was taken by Jo Lundeen in May, in order to be ready for the start of school. The Naperville Area Humane Society sculpture was used to highlight the Riverwalk, as well as to promote the City’s three K-9 units, Lundeen said. Sharon Murphy was there for the shoot since she had been involved with the Crime Prevention calendar early on and she also helped get the Century Walk sculpture started. This photo marks the 28th time one of Lundeen’s photos has been used for the cover.
