She is also encouraging local teachers and students to participate and use their creativity to bring joy to older adults in the community during the holidays.

Cards can be mailed or delivered to Murphy’s office at 1645 S. River Rd., Suite 7, Des Plaines, IL 60018 through Monday, Dec. 16. Cards also can be dropped through the mail slot in Murphy’s office.
