CBB Holiday Party 2011
December 4, 2011

Our 8th annual cocktail and "pot-luck" party was held at a fabulous Keck and Keck modern home in Flossmoor. Our hosts are the third owners, and have the original Keck watercolor rendering of their home, as well as wonderful modern furniture and a large party space perfect for this event.
