AMBUCS president Diane Carlton said she's had a tremendous career… Serving 49 years on the bench in Illinois as an associate judge, a member of Illinois Supreme Court, and Chief Justice. Carlton said they will be celebrating her later this week.
'It's just one thing that that's been done for, well, now 92 years. That, it's not about people with disabilities, but it was something that was started and we think it's a good thing to continue. It's just one of our community events that we do,' Carlton said.
The banquet will be held at the Turtle Run Golf Club at 6 p.m. on Thursday. The organization has also turned 100 years old this year, and they're looking to have a few events to celebrate coming up.
