Commission members note stair-lift eligibility and interest in veterans museum
Summary
Members reported that veterans may qualify for home stair lifts and recorded an inquiry from a World War II veteran about a potential veterans museum and viewing of memorabilia at Crest Jewelers.
During the "once around the table" member updates, Tom O’Neill noted that veterans may be eligible for stair lifts installed at their homes and shared that as an informational item for members and the public. The minutes do not provide program names or funding sources for the stair-lift assistance; members were informed of the general eligibility point.
Chairperson Joe Pilch also reported that a World War II veteran named Gerry called to ask about interest in a Veterans Museum. Pilch said the museum idea had been mentioned at a Cook County meeting and that Gerry’s memorabilia is available for viewing at Crest Jewelers. The minutes record this as an item for possible future interest rather than a formal commission action.
