Congressman John Shimkus will be having his staff holding office hours in towns across the 19th District. A member of Shimkus' staff will be in Washington and Bond counties on Wednesday, October 12th from 10:30 a.m. until Noon at the Irvington Village Hall at 204 Huron Street, and then from 2:00 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. at the Mulberry Grove Village Hall at 205 North Wood Street. Shimkus says the office hours allow people to meet face to face with his staff in your hometown instead of over the telephone or having to drive to Centralia or Collinsville. Those who cannot attend in person can contact Shimkus by mail or in person at 240 Regency Centre in Collinsville, or by telephone at 344-3065. The Centralia office, located at 221 East Broadway Suite 102, is open only on Wednesdays.
