Vonderlieth
Living Center in Mount Pulaski is proud to welcome Rep. Bill
Mitchell this Thursday, June 17, at 2 p.m. Mitchell has graciously
consented to come and meet residents and staff at the campus.
Nursing homes in Illinois have suffered from the publicity
surrounding several unfortunate occurrences in the Chicago area. The
Vonderlieth family of staff and residents want to open their home to
Mitchell to underscore the quality care and homelike environment
available at so many of the long-term care facilities in Illinois.
Mitchell will also have a town hall meeting on
Wednesday, June 16, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. He will be
available to answer questions at that time. The public is invited to
both events.
Got a good piece of news, information or
something that we can all brag about? If you do, e-mail Mike and let
us tell everyone about it. Plus you can win cash. Every submission,
whether we use it or not, will get your name in the Close Up grab
bag. At the end of the month we will draw a name and someone will
get $25 just for dropping us an e-mail. If you wish, we will be
happy to donate your winnings to the organization of your choice.
