To a Black Tie Mad Men Holiday Party
Our 6th annual pot-luck vintage party!
 
Sunday, December 6, 2009, 6:00 - 10:00 p.m.
FREE to members (in good standing)
Space is limited to the first 100 RSVP's with full names of those attending
For insurance reasons, all attendees must be members

  Bring your favorite fabulous party food*

Vintage recipes and dishware are suggested

 

Location: Downtown Chicago - address to be supplied to those attending

Attire: Vintage or Modern Party Attire – Wear your best “Mad Men” outfit!

Bring: An appetizer, main course, or dessert, either purchased or home made

Our hosts will be CBB members Ute and Todd Doersch,
residents of an amazing modern highrise in downtown Chicago.
Our party will take place in one of the tallest all-residential towers in Chicago,
and the first in the Midwest to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) Silver certification.
The residential tower, designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz
was built to operate using 10% less source energy than a conventionally designed
building of the same size. It successfully makes a statement about living in the modern age.

The event will be held in the Winter Garden, a 2-story landscaped interior garden room
that provides views through 14-foot-tall glass windows to Millenium Park. Please note,
there is no smoking allowed in building or on the balconies.

Please do not bring anything that needs to be cooked or heated at the party.
We will have several hot trays available, or bring a food in a crock pot,
fondue or chafing dish.

 

Address and directions will be provided to those who RSVP.
Please RSVP to this email with names of attendees (members only)
and what you will be bringing.


  Let us know if you will bring an appetizer, main course, dessert, or drink.
If you don't like to cook, bring wine, soft drinks or martini supplies!
