Service Club of Chicago held it's annual gala on November 4, 2011 at the Four Seasons hotel-Chicago. This year's gala, the 121st anniversary, went back into time to club El Morocco with amazing decor by Kehoe Designs who transformed the grand ballroom of the four seasons into 1940's elegance and glamour. Dusty Stemmer (mother to Brian Atwood) Laurie Davis (Lulus at the Belle Kay) and Toni Canada Chaired this years gala. President Sherrill Bodine (she's an accomplished author as well!) welcomed guests.
Val Warner and Ryan Chiaverini of Windy City Live served as MC's for the evening's festivities. The Ken Arlen Orchestra and Shelly MacArthur Farley entertained the more than 400 guests who dined on a sumptuous meal and sipped champagne all through the night. The silent auction chair Jim Karas coaxed guests to bid on exclusive and amazing items such as: A weekend stay at Skibo Castle, tickets to Mercedes Benz New York Fashion week, South African photo safari experience and much more. Service Club raised $250,000 which will be donated directly back to the organizations they support. They have continually served the civic, educational and cultural needs of Chicago and surrounding communities since 1890. Kudos!
