On behalf of the Board of Directors of SOS Children's Villages Illinois, you are invited to join us for an evening of Dining and Conversation on Wednesday, June 4th at 5:30 p.m. at the Pritzker Stage in Millennium Park.
Dining and Conversation is a night that includes Celebrity Chefs and Luminaries. Guests attending the event enjoy twelve courses prepared by Celebrity Chefs, while conversing with Luminaries. Luminaries move from table to table as each new course is served, so at the end of the evening every guest will have had the opportunity to speak with each Luminary . . . making it a truly wonderful evening of dining and conversation.
