Lezley Hodes and Karen Peters were co-chairs of A Cool Yule, the  annual Service Club Holiday Lunch.

And you thought the holiday season was over.  Done. Kaput. History. Well, you were absolutely correct; however we decided these images we so special we’ve been hiding them to spring on viewers when they are most vulnerable, simply to prove that life is full of mystery and wonder–but also certainty.

 The Service Club of Chicago’s A Cool Yule was celebrated a month ago yesterday, opening a classic entry into the festive season. It began under the Great Tree in Cathedral Hall of the stately University Club, where Service Club members and guests enjoyed Holiday carols and shopped for surprising gifts from local vendors.
