Last week, the City of Collinsville, Illinois (Official) held a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner to thank the members of our City Boards, Commissions and the like who pour their time, talents, heart and sweat into making Collinsville a great place to live, work and visit.

As Mayor Jeff Stehman said during his remarks: "The success of our City is not measured solely by buildings, programs or services – it is measured by the people who care enough to get involved. Each of you represents the very best of community service. You volunteer not because you have to, but because you care deeply about Collinsville and the people who call it home."
