Hinsdale Village Caucus Accepting Candidate Nominations for D181, Village Boards

The following is a release from the Hinsdale Village Caucus:

On Sept. 5, the Hinsdale Village Caucus held its second regular meeting.  During the meeting, the caucus formed nominating committees to slate candidates for the April 2013 local and municipal election.

Nominating committees were formed for the Hinsdale Library Board, Hinsdale Village Board, Hinsdale Caucus Officers, and Community Consolidated School District 181 Board of Education. On April 9, 2013, voters will be asked to choose four new library board members, three Village of Hinsdale trustees, a new village president, and three new District 181 Board of Education members.
