Cell Phones for Seniors

Kindly join D'Estee, Inc. as we participate with the Cook County Sheriff's Department “Cell Phones for Seniors Program” by donating your old cell phones for a good cause. Sheriff Thomas Dart is collecting used cell phones to distribute as 911 Emergency Cellular Phones for Cook County senior citizens who are considered at risk. By donating your old cell phone, you will be allowing seniors to feel more secure about living and traveling independently. Look for the drop off box in the Harrison room. You will be able to drop your phones off through November.

Jabberwock

D'Estee, Inc. and the Chicago Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will host Jabberwock 2008: A Party with a Purpose.
