| Aug 6 “Homage to Frida" VIP Artists' Reception |
The Frida Kahlo: Timeless Exhibition is here at last. The doors opened June 5 at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art at the McAninch Arts Center ("the MAC") on the campus of the College of DuPage, opening us to the world of Frida.
Our Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Arts & Sports Tourism Committee is hosting "Homage to Frida," a collection of artwork here at the Wheaton Chamber featuring local artists. With help from the curators from the Burning Bush Gallery at Gary UMC, we've installed an exhibition that honors Frida in each artist's own way.
The Chamber is open for "Homage to Frida" by appointment and
15 Fine Art Portraits revealed on Friday, July 9!
READ THE NEWS RELEASE HERE
We'd like to invite you and your team to come visit our Chamber office to celebrate Frida, see our exhibit and share more about the "Frida Kahlo: Timeless Exhibition" at the MAC. Consider it an art field trip, an opportunity to bring your team together and a chance to meet with other Chamber members. Let us know and we'll get you on the books.
Due to our small space, we will ask our guests who are not fully vaccinated to wear masks.
Many thanks to Bill Austin & Tony Asta, curators from the Burning Bush Gallery, Mike Dyer from Edward Jones and the Arts & Sports Tourism Committee of the Chamber and the various artists contributing their work--for the love of Frida--to the Chamber for "Homage to Frida."
Please email president@wheatonchamber.com if you'd like to bring your group.

CIVIC AWARENESS SERIES PRESENTS “MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON”
Free program in partnership with League of Women Voters of Wheaton
Wheaton, Ill., July 29, 2021 — The Robert R. McCormick House at Cantigny Park and the League of Women Voters of Wheaton continue their acclaimed Civic Awareness Series with an in-person viewing of the 1939 classic Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
The movie screens on Thursday, August 12, at 7 pm, inside the Cantigny Park Visitors Center. The program and parking are free, and registration is not required. Complimentary popcorn and bottled water will be available. Doors open at 6:30 pm.
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is a family-friendly comedy-drama starring Jimmy Stewart as Jefferson Smith, an idealistic newcomer to the U.S. Senate fighting against political corruption. Directed by Frank Capra, the movie earned 11 Academy Award nominations and is considered one of the greatest films of all time.
After the movie, the League of Women Voters and McCormick House will raffle 10 copies of Ian Rosenberg’s 2021 book, “The Fight for Free Speech: Ten Cases that Define our First Amendment Freedoms.” Rosenberg is speaking at the following Civic Awareness Series event, an online program via Zoom, on September 9, 2021.
Cantigny Park is open daily from 7 am to sunset and closes an hour after sunset on Wednesdays. The Robert R. McCormick House, a historic house museum, is currently closed for renovation and will reopen to the public in 2022. More information and a calendar of events is online at Cantigny.org. |

She was a pioneer in the creation of frequent traveller programs by developing and directing Hyatt Hotels and Resorts Gold Passport Program.

Prior to Hyatt, she honed her skills in brand development by working with McDonald's Restaurants New Product Marketing establishing such items as Extra Value Meals, Breakfast Biscuit Sandwiches, Salads and McChicken. More recently, she as shared her skills in event management for numerous Women and Motherhood conferences as well as working with a number of Not for Profits.
