FYI—Happenings About Town
On May 1, OPALGA sponsored the monthly Executive Board meeting of the Oak Park-River Forest Chamber of Commerce. Each month, a member of the board hosts the meeting in the name of the business or organization that they represent. This is the first time that OPALGA has sponsored a Chamber meeting, and we had a great opportunity to heighten the awareness of our organization and, in particular, to highlight the upcoming OPAL Gala.
For Berwynites (or the Berwyn curious), the All Berwyn Committee is sponsoring the State of the City Address on Thursday, May 17, at 7:00 p. m. at Berwyn City Hall, 6700 W. 26th St. You are cordially invited to hear Mayor Michael A. O’Connor’s report card on our fair city and his plans for the future. Refreshments will be served afterward.
Save the date! Sevilla’s Tapas, 6543 W. Cermak Rd., Berwyn, is organizing a weekly “Gay Nite.” We have selected Thursday nights for this event, and we are planning to develop a themed launch party for June 7. Stay tuned for more information.
Finally, mark your calendars for Countdown to Midnight-Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Book Release Festival, which is scheduled for Friday, July 20. The Oak Park Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and The Magic Tree Bookstore are in the midst of creating a magical and fun evening for all ages.
