Support Choate Center

To the editor,

I would like to ask people to please pray for Choate Mental Health in Anna that it will never close.

Write letters and make phone calls to support the need for Choate to our governor and representatives.  I have.

Southern Illinois needs jobs and the people who live at Choate need their home and people to care for them.

Anna will be a ghost town if Choate closes. Our businesses will have no one to buy from them. People will leave Anna to find jobs.

It's time to stand up, speak up, and time to defend our jobs here in Anna, in our community and Southern Illinois.

Thank you, Martha Ann Webb, Anna city commissioner
