Thank you for taking the time to read the daily facts.
Stacy’s Thirty-One party to raise money for the Epilepsy Foundation Greater Chicago closes tonight, so chances are it will already be closed by the time you read this. If the party is over, and you want to help us in the fight against epilepsy, you can always donate directly to Epilepsy Foundation Greater Chicago. Thank you.
