Villa St. Benedict was honored to welcome Chris Kachiroubas, the DuPage County Clerk of the Circuit Court to speak Friday, February 6.  Mr. Kachiroubas was welcomed by over 50 Villa St. Benedict residents and staff members.  Everyone was excited to have Chris on campus and learn more about his position.

Chris informed the attendees that DuPage County Circuit Court is the second largest court system in the State of Illinois and currently handles over 15,000 case files daily through 44 courtrooms.  Chris office annually collects in excess of $125,000,000 and generates over $20,000,000 in revenue to the DuPage County General Fund.  The office is also in charge of all the ticketing and traffic violations.  This was a sore subject with a few of the residents in the audience who had recently received traffic tickets.  Chris had a great sense of humor and enjoyed the heckling from the audience. 

Mrs. Rita Harrigan, a resident of Villa St Benedict, commented, The entire presentation was extremely informative.  I really enjoyed learning more about the Circuit Court.  It was also nice that Mr. Kachiroubas gave each of us useful materials that listed Government contact names and phone numbers for future reference.
