SPECIAL REQUEST

 

From Christopher Manson, OSF Healthcare (Christopher.M.Manson@osfhealthcare.org) – “I am looking for someone to pick up about a vans worth of supplies. Including some extrication equipment, some other tools and fire department turn out the gear. I’d need them to bring that stuff down from the upper peninsula of Michigan near Chassell and bring it all the way down to Schiller Park in Illinois which is where our warehouse is located near O’Hare airport. So if that’s something that someone can do we can even pay to rent a van if needed.  We need to have this delivered to our warehouse by 7/13.  If anyone is able to help I can provide exact addresses and such.”

 

C-U Sunrise Rotary Club Awards
