Serving Southern Illinois

Your time is the most valuable way to help out your community. Here in Southern Illinois we have a great tradition of lending a hand to those in need. Our office is involved in many local charities and initiatives that could use an extra hand. If you are interested in helping out in Southern Illinois you can become involved in one of our events listed below, or contact our office via our contact page to add one.

Red Cross Blood Drive:

On January 14th from 2:30-6:30pm at the Illinois Centre Mall in Marion, John will be hosting his fourth blood drive for our local Red Cross chapter. Recently there has been a blood shortage in Southern Illinois forcing doctors to put off surgeries and other medical procedures because of a lack of blood donations. We would appreciate it if you took an hour out of your day to help save a life here in Southern Illinois. Call our office with any questions (618) 997-9697.

2008 Citizen Advisory Committees:

You are invited to join one of John’s Citizen Advisory Committees. These committees are made up of residents from the district and aimed at facilitating discussions with local residents about what issues are currently important to them. There are a variety of committees including; business and economic development, Second Amendment rights, education, agriculture, and public safety. These committees meet four times a year and give the opportunity for local residents to discuss issues of local importance with John and other community leaders. If you are interested in serving in one of these committees, contact his office at (618) 997-9697.
