ALTON, Ill. – In an effort to hear the concerns, thoughts and ideas directly from residents, state Rep. Monica Bristow, D-Alton, will be hosting Coffee and Conversations from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. in Bethalto on Sept. 24 and in Rosewood Heights on Sept. 27.
“I enjoy hosting coffee and conversation events because of the opportunity to have a personal conversation and meet face-to-face with residents to talk about their concerns, ideas on how we can improve our state, or ways that my office can help communities and residents in the Riverbend region,” said Bristow. “Being able to meet with residents across with the district provides me with the feedback to better serve and represent them, and also allows me to help highlight our great local businesses, like coffeeshops, diners, and bakeries to help host these events.”
