On Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022,  Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White will host his final public appearance with a coat and sock giveaway to those in need at the Jesse White Community Center at 11 a.m. Chicago-based entrepreneur Ann Jhin, CEO of Jinny Beauty Supply, the largest multicultural and ethnic beauty supply distributor in the world, graciously purchased and donated all 500 coats and 200 Bombas socks for this giveaway to the local community. Following the giveaway, there will be a performance by the internationally renowned Jesse White Tumblers, who have been helping impact the lives of thousands of young Illinoisans for more than 60 years. As a “thank you” to Secretary of State Jesse White, who has served for nearly a quarter-century, Eli’s Cheesecake will present a celebratory cake in honor of Jesse White’s accomplishments throughout his career in Illinois and beyond. 

This “Thank You Celebration” will mark Jesse White’s final appearance before he departs the political stage. All are welcome to join and celebrate his work with Illinois, the community, and all those that have been impacted by his honorable career. Jesse White is Illinois’ 37th Secretary of State. White was first elected to the office in 1998 and won landslide victories in 2002, in which he won all 102 counties, and again in 2006 and 2010. On Nov. 4, 2014, White was re-elected to a record-breaking fifth term, winning another landslide victory by a 2-to-1 margin in which he earned over 2.3 million votes statewide — more than 230,000 votes than any other statewide constitutional candidate. White became Illinois’ longest-serving Secretary of State on May 30, 2014.

Before his election as Secretary of State, he played professional baseball with the Chicago Cubs organization, which was followed by a 33-year career with the Chicago public school system as a teacher and administrator.

NEW YORK – November 30, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Stone Rivers, who spent over 20 years in law enforcement, has completed his most recent book “Suicide Killer: The Manager”: a gripping story of a sergeant who falls under extreme scrutiny while doing his job and a dangerous unknown killer on the loose.

“There are times in every person’s life when a decision must be made,” writes Rivers. “Take the punch from the 8th grade bully or fight him. Allow a kid to be bullied in high school, let a drunk girl be taken away by ‘a friend’ in college. All youngsters’ decisions, but grow older, and things change. A lady in the office may be sexually harassed. A fellow you know, who is gay, might be set out among his peers. All this can or cannot be tolerated or addressed. That is entirely up to the individual. One can simply walk away and nobody would bat an eye or think twice.

“A cop, Agent, Trooper or deputy cannot just ignore things. At one time, every one of these people raised a hand and said ‘I swear’ so those folks cannot just walk away. They stand and deliver because it is right. Standalone sometimes and pay the price. Divorce, internal affairs, or death. That’s the choices, but they manage to do the right thing every day. It is not just the job, but service to the community that drives most of these professionals.  As hokey as it might sound to those who don’t understand, they live by two words—protect and serve.”

Published by Fulton Books, Stone Rivers’ book is a thrilling tale full of suspense and shocking twists as Sergeant Alastor Simms does his best to protect civilians from a dangerous killer while facing backlash for performing his duty. Expertly paced and character-driven, Rivers weaves an intricate plot that explores how the police are viewed by the public and often mistreated for doing their jobs to the best of their abilities.

Readers who wish to experience this enthralling work can purchase “Suicide Killer: The Manager” at select bookstores or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.
