Around Illinois

Across Illinois, Meeting People Where They Are

I love traveling across Illinois—meeting people, helping return unclaimed property, reuniting families with medals found in safe deposit boxes Operation Purple Heart, and talking with parents about saving for college.

This year, I’m making it a goal to visit even more communities. Here are a few photos from the road so far, along with images from our youth photo contest, Cream of the Crop, which opens again in March. I look forward to meeting many more of you in the months ahead.
