WELCOME, PEGGY MOYLAN (AND A NEW DISTRICT OFFICE)!

The Illinois/Wisconsin District is pleased to announce the hiring of Peggy Moylan as the new district administrative assistant. She will begin the week of Dec. 9, doing some training with outgoing administrative assistant Andrea Garnett. Andrea will complete her time with the district on Dec. 13 as she prepares to do an internship for her graduate program in social work.

Peggy (or Peg), who lives in Glendale Heights, began working as part-time office manager for the York Center congregation in Lombard this past summer and will add these district duties—about 12 hours per week—to round out her workload. She brings an extensive background in office administration and finance, having served in several office settings in the Chicago area over the past 30 years. She did academic work at Wright College and knows a wide variety of software applications.

Peggy lives in Glendale Heights. She typically is in the office for York Center Tuesdays through Thursdays and will do district work on Mondays and Fridays and other evenings/days as needed. She will do most of that work remotely, and she will have a cell phone for the district work (in the meantime, the York Center number is 630-627-7411). Peggy’s NEW EMAIL EFFECTIVE DEC. 13 will be peg.district@gmail.com. A more specific schedule and contact information will be shared once those are set.

This also means the official district office will be shifting from Canton back to Lombard. Files and some equipment will be moving in the coming months. Please use this new address—1S071 Luther Ave., Lombard, IL 60148—for all district correspondence effective Dec. 13. District executive Walt Wiltschek also has an office at the York Center church. We're grateful to Canton Church of the Brethren for providing district office space for much of the past two decades. We're also very grateful to Andrea for her excellent work for the district since she began in 2017. Please be in prayer for all involved as we begin this new chapter.
