Millionaires like the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers built many mansions, of grandeur and extremity, around the the country. Take a peak into the past touring both the Glessner house and the Driehaus museum. The Richard H. Driehaus Museum explores the art, architecture, and design of the late 19th century to the present. It is also known as the 'marble palace' due to the original builder/owner using 17 types of marble. Its permanent collection and temporary exhibitions are presented in an immersive experience within the restored Nickerson Mansion, completed in 1883. Vibrant educational and cultural programs, as well as exhibitions, place the Gilded Age in context and illuminate the history, culture and urban fabric of Chicago. Driehaus Museum tickets for 4. Glessner House is an internationally-known architectural treasure and National Historic Landmark. Glessner House was designed by noted American architect Henry Hobson Richardson for John and Frances Glessner. It was completed in 1887. A radical departure from traditional Victorian architecture, the structure served as an inspiration to architects such as Louis Sullivan, Mies van der Rohe, and the young Frank Lloyd Wright, and helped redefine domestic architecture of its era. During your 75-minute tour you will explore the 17,000 square foot mansion, delight in its world-class collection of English and American Arts & Crafts-era furnishings, and learn about the Glessners, a prominent Gilded Age family who had considerable effect on the development of late 19th and early 20th 14

Experience first hand what everyone's been raving about over the past few years either for aches/pains or slimming those hard to loose areas on the body. Invented in 1978 by a Japanese Rheumatologist for the treatment of arthritis, cryotherapy has been established through decades of studies as a powerful treatment for auto-immune disorders. More recently, it has become popular as a means of athletic recovery and increasing physical performance. It is not a medical procedure, but a non-invasive alternative for individuals seeking faster recovery and improved overall health. Cryotherapy is the body’s exposure to subzero temperatures used to promote a natural antiinflammatory response providing relief from aches and pains. It accelerates the production of collagen that not only improves skin elasticity but is the number one protein the body uses to repair all muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. Additionally, Cryotherapy triggers a release of endorphins, boosts the body’s metabolic rate and can improve sleep.

As you have likely stocked up on new and old wines at Binny's and Costco over the past year, now is your chance to try 7 bottles from 3 small vineyards that would never be on the shelves locally in Chicago. Canard Vineyard - 3 Bottles - Estate Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc blend, and a Rose ($150 Value) https://www.canardvineyard.com/ Aonair Wine - 2 Bottles - Grenache Blend, and White Blend and two etched wine glasses ($150 Value) https://www.aonairwine.com/ Reid Family Vineyards - 2 Bottles of 2013 J. KIRKWOOD a Bordeaux Blend ($200 Value) https://reidfamilyvineyards.com About Canard: Canard Vineyard has been creating handcrafted wine in Napa Valley since 1984. Each year they produce nine single vineyard wines, each one expressing the remarkable complexities of our estate's unique terroir. Their wines are produced from sustainable grown, dry farmed grapes, which are skillfully transformed into the fines expression of each varietal. Canard is dedicated to creating wines of distinction with an emphasis on quality of quantity. 2017 Adam's Blend ($75) Great Cabernet Franc is one of the most sought after wines in the world because when you get it right, it's the perfect blend of fruit, tannin and acidity. With a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon to give it some backbone and a hint of Merlot to give it beautiful mouthfeel and a long, soft finish, this wine is the perfect compliment to almost any savory dish. Enjoyable now but will cellar well for at least 12-15 years 2017 Estate Zinfandel ($45) 28

Silent Auction: 500 Experiences Zinfandel was once one of the dominant grapes grown in Napa Valley. Canard makes Zinfandel with elegance and balance and the structure and acidity to actually age very well. The 2017 Estate Zinfandel is particularly delicate, more so then previous vintages. Drink now or hold for several years. 2020 Cuvee des Cendres Rose ($35) Cuvee des Cendres ("from the ashes") represents the unwavering resolve of the California farmers, vintners and winemakers who have faced so many devastating fires over the last few years. Canard lost all of their Napa Valley estate wines in the 2020 Glass fire, including their Estate Rose. This Rose was created by some beautiful high altitude Grenache from Paso Robles, CA and made the wine in Sonoma, CA. This Rose is crisp, bright with beautiful notes of strawberry, tropical fruits, citrus and a hint of hibiscus. A portion of proceeds from the sale of this limited production wine will be donated to the Napa Valley Community Disaster Relief Fund.

About Aonair: After spending his entire career in the wine business, Grant Long Jr. has settled into his role as proprietor of Aonair. For Grant, it all began as a teenager, when he made his first barrel of wine in his parents’ garage. Over the years, Grant has had the opportunity to work alongside some great mentors. With the practical knowledge he gained in the cellar and his instinct for business operations, Aonair was born. n each step that they take, they continue to honor the grassroots history of Napa Valley and those who pioneered the industry before them.

Silent Auction: 500 Experiences with the planting of a small Napa Valley vineyard in the foothills of Mt. Veeder. The estate was originally homesteaded in 1880 as a prune ranch and the original barn still remains as a silent reminder of that era. The wine is made using traditional French barrel-to-barrel racking techniques without filtration or fining. It is literally hand crafted and nurtured through each step of the winemaking process. French and American oak barrels and the best Napa Valley grapes are used to produce about 1000 cases of each year. Made from estate grown, Bordeaux varietals, this blend is an expression of the terroir at the base of Mt. Veeder in the Napa Valley. With a nose of roses, berries, and a hint of vanilla, this wine would pair gracefully with any hearty meal. A complex mouthfeel, followed by a smooth lingering finish, the 2013 J. Kirkwood will age beautifully in your cellar for several years. Reid Family wines are from the golden triangle of Napa, where the valley meets the hills of the Carneros region. A vineyard of tightly spaced vines that concentrates yields, Bordelaise chais and traditional methods in the cellar combine to produce striking, lively wines. Starting Bid: Min. Raise:

White Blends - This versatile wine is overflowing with luscious aromas of strawberries and blueberries. Herbal floral flavors create a perfect symphony of savory and sweet. Subtle notes of leather add to the complexity of this beautiful red blend. Your palate is guaranteed to request an encore. About Reid: Reid Family Vineyards was founded in 1992 29

He likes his chew toys but also wants to play with you! He loves to run and just started to jump. I think he could be a good frisbeecatcher someday. He eats well 3x a day, prefers to go potty outdoors and is starting to sleep longer through the night. He is still teething, so hide your shoes and raise your computer and phone charger wires. He hasn't yet grasped the concept of going for a structured walk, but he is interested in the outdoors and happy to walk in a lessorganized way down the sidewalk if you're willing. Boomer loves to be cuddled and always by your side and/or our your feet.

OUR MISSION St. Benedict Preparatory School continues a century-long tradition of superior education in a vibrant Catholic community. We recognize that each student’s God-given gifts hold unique value, potential, and dignity. Our city block campus offers preschool through grade 8 programs to the parish, the Northside of Chicago, and all those who share our mission. With a focus on critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and collaboration, the St. Benedict Parish faculty and staff, in partnership with parents, develop the creators and contributors of tomorrow inspired by faith and informed with a global perspective. We are a welcoming and supportive community with Christ at our center. A commitment to inclusive and rigorous challenge creates a dynamic, innovative, and active learning experience in which the needs of the whole student are met. At St. Benedict Preparatory School, the strengths of each child become an inspiration to others to learn fearlessly, to lead responsibly, and to serve joyfully.
