The Illini Valley REALTORS® collected more than $800 to help the needy at its annual holiday party at the Seneca Oak Ridge Golf Course in December.
For the third consecutive year, the local association agreed to give the donation to the Illinois Valley Public Auction to Deliver Shelter (PADS). Illinois Valley PADS provides shelter, food and services to people in need in LaSalle, Bureau and Putnam counties. It has locations in Ottawa and Peru.
Illini Valley officers are: President Linda Hamer, President-elect Deborah Spangler and Treasurer Andy Cassidy. Gail Pyszka is the Association Executive.
