VILLA PARK, Ill. – State Rep. Deb Conroy is partnering with the Association of Illinois Senior Citizens and the Illinois Department on Aging to offer area seniors the opportunity to compete in the Illinois State Senior Spelling Bee. The competition will be held on Thursday, April 17th at 1:30 p.m. at the Villa Park Community Recreation Center located at 320 E Wildwood Ave. in Villa Park.
