May 20 DES Activities Confirmed

Invitations will be going out shortly for the May 20, 2011 DES events. Please watch your email and/or snail mail (depending on how you requested to receive DES communications) for information regarding the activities of the day.

Jack Leahy and Harvette Grey have been working with the DuSable Museum of African American History to create a special tour just for DES Members. The flyer will outline transportation options, times and what the tour will cover. The tour will take place the morning of May 20 and arranged transportation will have attendees back at the Lincoln Park Campus in time for the Luncheon. “The DuSable Museum of African American History, the first and oldest institution of its kind in the country, has been dedicated to the collection, preservation, interpretation and dissemination of the history and culture of Africans and Americans of African descent.” If you are not familiar with the Museum and its holdings, click on DuSable Museum for more information.

When you return to campus, refreshments will be available followed by DES updates and a wonderful lunch shared with many colleagues. During lunch, we will have the opportunity to meet our 2011 DES Scholarship recipient, Brad Helgeland. His scholarship has been made possible through your generous contributions. It is always special for the person receiving the gift and those who have made it possible to meet.

After lunch, Fr. John Richardson has agreed to speak to us about the memoires he is writing. His focus is the driving forces for DePaul’s development in the past 50 years. We know everyone who shares part of those 50 years will be most interested in his insights.

Wrapping up our Luncheon time, we are very pleased Rosa Perez, AVP Compensation and Benefits, will be there to provide some clarity on costs related to mail-order prescription drug expense under the BCBSIL plan coverage and how we can all minimize expenses in this area. Information that is very timely.

Mark May 20th on your calendar and watch for the invitation in your email/mailbox. Hope to see you all there.
