Good Morning, GiGi’s Chicago.Thank you to everyone who came out for our 4th annual Game Night. It was a great event, and easily our most successful Game Night ever! Thanks everyone for your support and good cheer.In the spirit of thanks, there are several people and organizations we’d like to thank for helping us bring the event together. First, a big thank you to
Margaret Reynolds and
Belle Plaine Studio for donating the space. Thanks also go to
Entertainment Cruises,
Bad Dog Tavern and
Beer Bistro for donating the food. And for our silent auction prizes, a thank you to the
Chicago Cubs (for the signed Mike Quade jersey) and
Mark Lundgren (who donated the Cubs tickets and the White Sox scout seats). And also, we’d like to thank all of the people and organizations who donated prizes for our raffle. They’re too numerous to mention here, but we’re eternally grateful.
Finally, we’d like to thank Bob and LeAnn Foster for working so hard on the event. And finally, we couldn’t have pulled off the event without the help of One Brick, who provided volunteers.
Also, congratulations to all our tournament winners. Jenga, Baggo, Connect 4 and Wii Golf have never been so competitive.
Playhouse Renovations
With the Spring Session ending this week, the Playhouse will be closed for the next two weeks (May 28 – June 12) for some renovations. Comcast is working a generous donation of materials and volunteers to help make the playhouse be all it can be. We’re excited about the work that’s being done. We’ll share more about it with you next week.
Also, don’t forget to turn in your literacy applications by May 31 for the summer session.
