Illinois Lawmaker Announces Valentines For Seniors

An Illinois lawmaker representing Jo Daviess County has launched a card drive initiative to benefit the area’s older adults. Illinois Senator Andrew Chesney of Freeport has announced his “Valentines for Seniors” initiative. Chesney is asking students from public and private schools, church groups, scouting organizations, and other groups to create homemade cards to be delivered to assisted living centers and long-term care facilities across Illinois Senate District 45. The district includes all of Jo Daviess, Stephenson and Carroll counties. Cards, poems and other well-wishes will be collected between now and Feb. 5 at Chesney’s Freeport office.
