Another Excuse to Raise Funds—And Party!

The Walnut Room Fairy, who flew in from the Marshall Field and Company Building for the day, with Lezley Hodes, Pamella Capitanini and Karen Peters. Lezley and Karen were two of the three event co-chairs.
The ladies of the Service Club of Chicago just never seem to stop the year-round party, but each segment furthers the Service Club mission “to assist, improve and expand upon agency programs in the Chicagoland area.”
The 2017 annual Holiday Luncheon was held in the University Club’s spectacular Cathedral Hall during the first week in December. The ladies, who also like to shop, were given the opportunity to select from unique holiday gift items—from jewelry and fur accessories to details for home décor, as well as sweet treats, all offered by preferred vendors.
While guests were being seated for luncheon, they began their tradtional interactive rendition of “The Twelve Days of Chistmas,” with individual tables taking specific verses.
