@ Salvage One, 1840 W. Hubbard St., Chicago

The Saint Joseph Hospital Associates, a volunteer group of young professionals, is sponsoring their second annual benefit party for the Lakeview Community Health Center.  Since the Community Health Center operates with an annual operating deficit of $500,000, funds raised will be used to underwrite costly prescriptions and medications for underprivileged adults and children.

Explore Salvage One's three warehouse stories of architectural treasures, antiques, historic reclamations and curiosities in Chicago's West Loop.  Savor select wines paired with fabulous epicurean selections.  Bid on silent auction prizes!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for supporting the Goodie Foundation party!  It was a fun night!  This is going to be the last Happy Hour until fall, with the exception of a Mid-summer blow out.  There is too much happening in the Big Fat City in the summer!  Anyway, How long has it been since you went to Beaumont’s??  I think I went there with a fake ID last time…  There is Grizzly’s Lodge then three more that I’m confident you haven’t been to or at least been to in a while. (We will end up in the Lincoln Park area)  I need people to RSVP me with a fairly good guess of the number attending so we can have the right number of busses!  Also, the busses will be staggered on leave times so we can all get drinks at the bars. We will probably have 6 busses. 

On a personal note, a couple of you ladies spoke with me about my writing style so I took a look at some of my past invites and guess I can see how they have been a little over the top with sexual innuendos.  So I promised those ladies that I would keep the sexual words and comments to a minimum for this invite, penis.  I guess that most of you realize beaver that I’m only kidding around.  I realize, boobs that the whole idea of sophomoric e-mails is beneath me, beef curtains and that sexual innuendos whether blatant, nipples or hidden have to stop before, ten inch meat hammer some of you get the wrong idea about me:)  Thank you for understanding and Cumming to the parties.

Get to either of the two starting bars on time!  See you there!!

Team 9 Second Annual Benefit for Avon Breast Cancer Foundation
@ Reserve, 858 W. Lake Street, Chicago.

Last year a team of nine women banded together and raised about $20,000 for the Avon Breast Cancer Foundation.  They’re doing it again this year and would appreciate your support.  Please attend the Team 9 Second Annual Benefit for Avon Breast Cancer Foundation at Reserve on Thursday May 12th.  For more information on this event (cost, etc.), contact Alicia Fidler at [aliciafidler@hotmail.com].

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer: Chicago takes place the weekend of June 3-5, 2005.  The Avon Walk Chicago Weekend is so much more than a walk for breast cancer. It’s a breath of fresh air, a relief from the everyday, and one of the best possible ways to spend your days off.  The journey will start at historic Solider Field Stadium Green overlooking Lake Michigan. As the sun rises, join thousands of your fellow Walkers in a motivating and inspiring opening ceremony, celebrating your commitment to the breast cancer cause and preparing to start out on the experience of a lifetime.  Your first steps will take you North along Lake Michigan’s beautiful lake front path, a true treasure of Chicago, the sparkling water to your right and the towering skyline to your left. Along the way, our Rest Stops offer refreshment and replenishment with snacks, drinks, and the most supportive Crew members you’ll ever find! It’s likely you’ll also pass by your family and friends (and complete strangers) supporting you from our Cheering Stations.

Your home-away-from-home for Saturday night is our incredible Wellness Village, a complete campsite with everything you need for a fun and relaxing night away! We’ll supply hot showers, delicious food, cozy tents, even yoga and entertainment to top it off! It’s the perfect place to lay your weary head. No camping experience necessary -- we’ll make it easy as can be.

On Sunday, you’ll wake up energized and ready to lace up your tennis shoes! There will be a hot breakfast to get you going, and the city in the distance as your goal. Your second day will take you past the famous Lincoln Park Zoo as we head into Chicago’s historic Old Town neighborhood. You’ll even enjoy a spectacular architectural tour along the Chicago River before finishing triumphantly at Soldier Field!  Your friends and family will be eagerly awaiting your arrival at the Closing Ceremony, where you’ll celebrate your weekend and your enormous contribution to this important cause. It’s an awe-inspiring moment that words can’t explain.
