Illinois State House District 57 issued the following announcement on Sept. 17
I wanted to take a quick moment to thank Prospect Heights Fire Protection District, State Senator Julie Morrison, and Versiti Blood Center of Illinois, as well as all of our donors that came out to our blood drive on the 15th. We got the report back this morning indicating that we collected enough blood and plasma to help 66 patients! I'm always humbled by the generosity of my district, and it is an honor to represent the fine people of the 57th!
I'll also take this moment to mention that our office in Northbrook is a year-round collection location for the Cell Phones For Soldiers charity. If you have old phones that are in still working condition, consider dropping them off here to help the men and women serving overseas connect with their loved ones. We had a few donations come in the last two weeks so we'll likely be sending out another batch of phones by the end of September.
