CREST HILL – Whether it’s answering questions about state resources or hearing feedback on legislative priorities, State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel enjoys sitting down with local residents to reflect on how she can best serve the 49th District. During a Coffee and Conversation event on Aug. 24, Loughran Cappel invites the community to join her at the Great American Bagel in Joliet to chat.

“As your state senator, I aim to make myself available across the district,” said Loughran Cappel (D-Shorewood). “The best way for me to efficiently and effectively do my job is to meet with people face-to-face and hear their concerns.”

The event will be held Thursday, Aug. 24 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Great American Bagel located at 1101 Essington Rd. in Joliet.

Each monthly Coffee and Conversation serves as an open forum for community members to engage in informal conversations with the senator and each other about issues facing the region and the state.

The event is free and open to area residents. Those with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact Loughran Cappel’s Crest Hill office at 815-267-6119 or visit her website at www.SenatorLoughranCappel.com.
