Free Cell Phones for Senior Citizens over 65 years of age

Barry Bonazzi Director of Senior Services for the Will County Sheriff’s Office has free 9-1-1 Cell phones for Senior Citizens 65 years of age and older.  You can only dial 9-1-1 for emergency   assistance on these cell phones.   For more information contact Barry at 815-727-5678 or email him at bbonazzi@willcosheriff.org   The City Clerk’s Office no longer accepts donations of used cell phones.

THE "YELLOW DOT" PROGRAM

This program is a TRIAD Project to help save lives. The program requires a yellow card, with pertinent personal and health information, to be completed in pencil and stored in the glove     compartment of the car (and it should be updated as needed). The card will also have a recent photo of the program participant. The participant is to affix a “yellow dot” decal on the inside rear windshield of the car on the driver’s side. This way, in the event of an emergency, first responders can identify the vehicle as a “yellow dot” participant and will know to look inside the glove compartment for pertinent information. If participants sell the car, they must remove the yellow dot sticker.

MAYORAL WALL OF FAME

The City Clerk’s Office continues to accept 8 x 10 photo’s of past Mayor’s who served the City of Lockport to hang on our “Mayoral Wall of Fame.”  Currently we need three (3) more pictures to complete the wall.  We are looking for 8 x 10 pictures of:  John Daly who served from 1925-1931; F.W. Shoop who served from 1909-1911; and William Ward who served from 1907-1909.  If you have a picture of any of these past Mayor’s mentioned, or know of someone who may have a picture and would like to donate them to the “Mayoral Wall of Fame”, please contact Donna in the City Clerk’s Office at extension 2121.  Thank you to those who have already donated!!.
