Perhaps it was that reason that the class of 2019 Crystal Charity Ball new members and executive committee were in cottons and silks. Nary a boot or wool was in the 2014 CCB Chair Robyn Conlon’s Highland Park home for the annual get-to-know-you brunch on Tuesday, … [Read more...] about New Crystal Charity Ball Members Are Honored With A Brunch At Robyn Conlon’s Home

On Tuesday, April 1, Interfaith Housing Coalition somehow managed to launch its first ever Interfaith Auxiliary Luncheon fundraiser without a hint of huffiness or starch.
