Our Chapter is hard at work creating another spectacular TABLESCAPES for our guests. This year, it’s all about “COLOR” with unique and dramatic color-themed table settings created by our talented members. The event will be held on Sunday, March 3rd at the Westin Hotel in Oak Brook. We’re very pleased that Zzazz Productions is providing informal modeling during the luncheon showcasing a rainbow of fabulous fashions. There will also be wonderful vendors offering unique merchandise.
On November 7th, we hosted our annual Baby Shower and Luncheon at Seasons 52 in Oak Brook. Our generous members donated about 500 items for infants at the Clinic. Chapter President Dee Koffron held a brief meeting, and our members discussed ways to attract new members. We were also pleased to have past Auxiliary President Marge Tresley address our group. She talked about the Auxiliary’s centennial as well as our Chapter’s many contributions to the organization and the Clinic.
Our members enjoyed two terrific social gatherings as 2012 drew to a close. In October, Jenny Baird graciously hosted a couples’ wine tasting event. And on December 5th, Gail Daly invited us to her home for our annual holiday party. Both events were great fun, and we appreciate the hospitality of our gracious hostesses.
Recently, several Hinsdale Chapter members attended the Auxiliary’s 100th Birthday Party at the Clinic. It was a fun and festive occasion, and we enjoyed spending time with the group as we came together to commemorate this special year in our history.
