Hi fellow IL-District 15 Mom! YES, Shimkus' letter arrived yesterday with the invitation to the reception 1/2. My son's portal reflected the nomination on Tues, the 21st. DS received an LOA on 8/15, and since a nom was the only condition of his LOA, his portal should show official offer of acceptance this coming week. We will definitely see you at the reception on 1/2! Are we allowed to give names here?
