Experience Charlie Chaplin's The Kid with live improvised accompaniment! Renowned theater organist Jay Warren will be at the mighty Opus 327 Skinner pipe organ to accompany the original 1921 silent film, just as it was done in 1921!

Representative Robyn Gabel was named Majority Leader of the Illinois House! This is the number two spot in the chamber, one that brings with it a top role in shaping policy decisions for the whole state, and a giant (and well-deserved) recognition of Robyn's tremendous effectiveness and track record as a legislator.

I'm writing to invite you to a community-wide celebration of this great achievement -- please join us as we congratulate Leader Gabel and wish her well on this next journey.
