Aspen Dual School

Treasurer Kim visited Aspen dual language School in Vernon Hills to talk about local government and how property taxes pay for schools, parks, the library and all the local services kids love.

The Financial Literacy Workshop hosted by State Representative Rita Mayfield last week at College of Lake County Lakeshore Campus was a great success, and we appreciate everyone who attended. Our office will be partnering for her future sessions on Budget Basics 101, Types of Insurance, Trusts, and other important topics.
