I am a member of Lake Forest Symphony Guild. There is an even, Opening Nigh Party. Saturday, September 21, 2019 6:00 pm. You enter the Solarium and walk on the Red Carpet. $ 75 per person. I am exciting. I will go with my Husband.

Attended a presentation of a film regarding Jens Jensen, revered landscape architect, Chicago Park District Superintendent, and naturalist/teacher. The theater facility at Gorton is top notch. This center is a great community asset for Lake Forest.

I signed up for their mailing list hoping to donate as an anonymous donor. They asked for my first and last name as well as my personal cell phone number. Im sure a barrage of spam from every 501 now awaits me.
