The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office will host a public event Monday to offer social service assistance to residents and recognize National Crime Victims’ Rights Week.
The event is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday at the College of Lake County’s Grayslake Campus, 19351 W. Washington St., Building C, lower level.
Social service agencies will be on hand to offer their services and benefits to the public. At 6 p.m., a program and awards presentation will be held inside the CLC auditorium in the lower lever of the C-Wing.
Pastor John Caples, a member of the Citizens Advisory Panel of the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office, is the featured speaker. Justice and law enforcement awards will be presented for outstanding work in the field of victim’s rights.
Also, Jonathan Meier, theater director at Mundelein High School who helped lead a local production of the play “Trust,” will receive a special Community Spirit Award.
