Handouts from Public Health and Safety Town Hall Meeting

I thank everyone who was able to attend our town hall meeting on public health and safety on January 11th.

Here is a testimonial from Dr. Shemuel Israel.

"I enjoyed the town hall meeting very much. Gatanya's info on public benefits is so valuable and Dr. Henderson's lecture on public health in North Lawndale was excellent. We applaud the work of the Dept of Public Health as they funded some of our work in the community. And Valerie, no other candidate in the 24th Ward is doing what you are doing to bring awareness and empowerment to our community."



Here are copies of the handouts.

CHECK OUT my Experience and Heart flyer to see some of my accomplishments as they demonstrate my life-long commitment to public service in the 24th ward and elsewhere. As you will see, my heart has always been with the people.

Reminder-Come Out to My Town Hall Meeting on Public Health and Safety Tonight

I just wanted to remind you to come out to my town hall meeting on public health and safety tonight. The meeting will go from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Carey Tercentenary AME Church, 1448 South Homan. We will have Dr. Cynthia Henderson do a presentation on the health status of the community, and Gatanya Arnic will provide an overview of public benefits, including medical cards, TANF and Link cards. I will share my platform on public health and safety and provide copies of a resource guide to public benefits and local health resources. All are welcome to attend.
