24 years with the City of Mascoutah Water Department💧
100% well-deserved retirement! 🎉

Help us wish a very happy retirement to one of Mascoutah's finest public servants, Cindy Hilkey!🎈Cindy’s dedication is unmatched, marking 29 years of union solidarity with Laborers' Local 742 and 24 years of vital service keeping things running smoothly at the City of Mascoutah Water Department.

We extend our deepest appreciation to Cindy for her loyalty and years of service. Dedication and loyalty aren't just words. It's a commitment, and Cindy has modeled that for nearly three decades. We are incredibly grateful for everything you've done for Mascoutah and Local 742.

We are so excited for you to trade the work boots for gardening gloves! Enjoy your time in the yard and hanging out with your cats. 🐱🪴

Cheers to your next big adventure! 🥂
