On Saturday, December 1st I am hosting a Passport Clinic at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Virden from 10:00am to 2:00pm.  Come to this one-stop shop where staff will be available to assist you in either renewing or becoming a first time passport holder.  A photographer will also be available for your passport photos and my office will mail your passport application on your behalf.
