Westmont, Illinois
Date Issued: April 17, 2019

At a recent Village of Westmont Board meeting, it was voted unanimously to proclaim April 7-13 National Volunteer Week.  “This is a great proclamation,” said Mayor Gunter. “Especially because Westmont has the best volunteers anywhere. Actually, we celebrate our volunteers all year long.”
