U.S. Senator Christopher S. “Kit” Bond has announced a special Listening Post Forum for Friday, July 10, in Mt. Vernon.

Hollie Elliott, a representative for the senator, will be available for constituents at the Listening Post from 9 to 10 a.m., in the downstairs meeting room in the Lawrence County Courthouse.

“These meetings give Missourians a chance to tell my staff what is on their minds and to ask important questions. Thousands of Missourians regularly use these meetings and my office to navigate the federal governmental maze,” noted Senator Bond.

Bond began Listening Posts in 1987. One-on-one service is available to all Missourians who have problems with federal government through his Jefferson City office.

Constituents who have a problem with a federal agency or would like to share their concerns with the senator may also write or call his statewide Office of Constituent Services at 308 East High Street, Suite 202, Jefferson City, MO 65101, 573-634-2488.
