Chicago’s maestro, Stanley Paul hosted his annual Stanley Paul-Raelene Mittelman Scholarship Benefit at The Casino, this year celebrating the dynamic photographic duo of Myra and John Reilly. (It was the first time the Benefit honored a couple). The special evening began with a reception where guests were warmly greeted by Stanley, Myra and John. The Reillys displayed a
vintage photo John had taken of a young Stanley seated at the piano, and a video screen highlighting his photography featured friends and guests over the years. Attendees were given silver cameras as an homage to the photographic nature of the evening and were encouraged to “be John Reilly” as they snapped away recording their
memories of the party. Stanley’s niece, Joanie Legittino (Raelene’s daughter) was among the many guests, as were a number of the honorees’ four children and seven grandchildren. Daughter Lisa Schlenker even flew in from Florida for the special tribute. Entertainment reporter
and Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Bill Zwecker, welcomed guests and served as emcee for the roast/toast to the Reillys with great stories and anecdotes from long-time friends and family. Toasters included friends JoAnn and Stuart Nathan, daughter Lisa Schlenker, PR
maven Dori Wilson and the theatrical genius of Jason Brett. The toasters all told heart-warming stories of Myra and John, their life and work together and all of the
wonderful philanthropic endeavors they have spearheaded. JoAnn Nathan said that when Myra first asked her to help on a project for charity, little did she know how involved she would become and what a good friendship they would develop. The finalists for the 2015 Stanley Paul-Raelene Mittelman Scholarship
award ($5,000) were announced at the event, and will be presented October 1 at the 2015 Leadership Awards sponsored by The Apparel Industry Board, Inc. (AIBI) and the 100 Club of
Chicago at The Four Seasons Hotel. According to Stanley Paul, “It is truly a pleasure to assist these fledgling designers in continuing their education in Fashion Design and for us to be a part of their dream.” Proceeds from the event will continue to fund the scholarships that Mr. Paul has awarded annually since 1990. Congrats to ALL! (Photos by John Reilly Photography)
Culinary fans will feast in delight at the exhibition Charlie Trotter: Chef, Artist, Thinker presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) and the Charlie Trotter’s Culinary Education Foundation (CTCEF) at the City Gallery in the Historic Water Tower (806 N. Michigan) from now until September 7. The special FREE exhibit gives visitors a peek at the interests and
inspirations that manifested in renowned chef Charlie Trotter’s (1959–2013) thoughtful and artistic approach to his life, his cuisine and his legacy. CTCEF, which was established by Trotter in 1999 to provide scholarships to youth
who have a passion for cooking and food, has provided the items on display, including Trotter’s last worn chef jacket. Additional artifacts include items from his personal library and music collection, his most coveted award: the 2012 James Beard Humanitarian of the Year medal, ephemera and a selection of food photography featured in his
numerous books, which highlight the chef’s uniquely architectural and artistic culinary presentations. Chef Trotter’s modern interpretation of cuisine helped to shape the culinary scene in America today and put
Chicago at the forefront of the industry. A self-taught chef,Trotter opened his award-winning restaurant, Charlie Trotter’s, in Chicago in 1987 when he was only 28 years old. The restaurant received numerous
accolades, including nine James Beard Awards. Trotter was also the author of 14 cookbooks, 3 management books and hosted the award-winning PBS series, The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter. Trotter received an award
at the White House from both President George W. Bush and Colin Powell for his work with the Foundation and was named one of only five 'heroes' to be honored by Colin Powell's charity, America’s Promise. “We are delighted to share a glimpse of elements which helped shaped the
life Charlie Trotter. Our hope is that by sharing these personal insights about Charlie as a person, visitors will realize that inspiration can come in many forms – not always the format in which
it is ultimately expressed. For instance Charlie’s greatest artistic inspiration came in the form of jazz music, even though he wasn’t a musician, his art was cuisine,” stated his widow Rochelle Trotter, Executive Director of CTCEF. A private preview party kicked off the exhibit and featured decor by Debi Lilly, sweet treats from Sugar Hills Bakery, COCO5 natural cherry water and catering provided by PURE KITCHEN.

The Service Club of Chicago hosted its annual Spring Luncheon with many ladies donning colorful and whimsical chapeaux for an afternoon at the Ritz on May 18. Nearly 300 guests turned out for this
annual fundraiser for one of the oldest charitable organizations in Chicago, founded in 1890. Co-chaired by members Kristina McGrath and Susan Colletti, the fun-filled day included a reception, raffle and entertainment by Mr.
Chicago himself, Stanley Paul. The ballroom was ablaze with color and floral inspired hats were everywhere you looked in keeping with the "garden fabulous" attire request. Longtime member Tina Weller took the celebratory aspect
even further with her "champagne" inspired hat created by renowned milliner Loreta Corsetti. Sherry Lea Holson was barely visible underneath her ginormous hat, a "living" topper created out of real flowers
and foliage. It was so big, you couldn't even see her beautiful little face! Fascinators (smaller creations attached to headbands) seemed to be most popular. For the first time, hats were not required, but many
guests chose to carry on the tradition. SC president Myra Reilly thanked the crowd and reminded everyone of all the good work the organization does raising funds for worthy non-profits throughout Chicagoland. The SC's policy of giving is to "assist, improve and enlarge upon agency programs" in areas of children, family services, education and the
arts. The non-profit helps recipients "expand facilities, improve equipment and initiate new programs which will better serve a large number of people in need." Every single dollar raised goes directly to charity and all
events are completely operated by members so there's no overhead. On this day, I was fortunate to be a guest of one of the co-chairs, Kristina McGrath. Her table was literally "in bloom" due
to the individual floral arrangements she had personalized for each of her guests. During her thank you speech, she acknowledged her beautiful twin sister Korinna Isselhardt, who was also at the table, and it was so touching. Congrats to all these hardworking, dedicated women of the Service Club. You make our city a happier place for so many who are less fortunate. (The good photos are by John Reilly Photography 🙂
The glamour of the 1920s—the era of Goodman Theatre’s founding—came alive at the May 16 “Puttin’ on the Glitz” Gala, featuring the Tony Award-winning stage and screen star Sutton
Foster. More than 500 guests gathered at The Fairmont for the black-tie event, which was co-chaired by Women’s Board members Linda Aylesworth and Frances Del Boca and Board of Trustees member Jeffrey Hesse. Foster charmed
guests with a wide-ranging repertoire that included the show-stopping “Gimme Gimme” from her Tony Award-winning role in Thoroughly Modern Millie and “Air Conditioner” from her debut album Wish. The evening began in the Imperial Foyer, where guests enjoyed appetizers and sipped Kir Royales—the signature drink of the evening. The Imperial
Ballroom was bedecked with décor inspired by the Roaring 20s by Kehoe Designs. It featured decorated tabletops and floral centerpieces with peacock feather accents and twinkling gold lights. Guests enjoyed an elegant dinner followed by dancing to The Gentleman of Leisure. Gala attendees had the 
opportunity to purchase travel raffle tickets and the winner and companion received 200,000 American Airlines miles, round-trip air transportation within the contiguous 48 United States and Canada. The gala raised more than $900,000 for education and community engagement programs. (Photos by John Reilly Photography).
The Music Institute of Chicago, the oldest community music school in Illinois and one of the three largest in the nation, welcomed nearly 400 guests to its 85th anniversary gala at the Four Seasons. The event raised more than $1.05 million and included a cocktail reception followed
by an elegant dinner and awards presentation. Musical performances throughout the evening included some of the Music Institute’s talented Community School students and award-winning students from
the Music Institute’s Academy for gifted pre-college musicians. The prestigious Dushkin Award, established 29 years ago and named for the Music Institute’s visionary founders Dorothy and David Dushkin, recognizes international
luminaries in the world of music for their contributions to the art form, as well as to the education of youth. This year’s recipient was Deborah F. Rutter, president of
the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and former president of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) from 2003 to 2014. During her tenure, the CSO appointed Maestro Riccardo Muti as the CSO’s 10th music director and renowned cellist Yo-Yo
Ma as the first Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant (both past Dushkin Award recipients). The Institute also presented its sixth annual Cultural Visionary Award for Chicago, which recognizes
individuals who have provided visionary philanthropic and civic leadership for the broad spectrum of arts in Chicago and Illinois, to Mary B. Galvin, who co-founded the Stradivari Society to address the growing need among promising young musicians and the interest among potential
patrons worldwide to make it possible to borrow beautiful and rare instruments. Honorary Chairs for the event were Maestro Riccardo Muti and Yo-Yo Ma. Co-chairs were Susan and Richard P. Kiphart, Jim and Kay Mabie, Jane DiRenzo Piggott and Cate and Rick Waddell. Funds raised at the gala are the primary source of scholarship and financial aid programs that benefit more than 2,500 students annually at the Institute's six primary campuses as well as through its extensive outreach programs in CPS schools and with community-based nonprofits.
May 26 was my birthday, but I celebrated all month long. I can't figure out why some people don't enjoy these special days, like my husband. Grrrrr…. As long as I can remember, I've loved, loved, loved celebrating birthdays–not just my own (although this is my
favorite), but anyone's. I'd even celebrate a birthday with a stranger. Having birthdays means you're alive and celebrating them means you're enjoying life and having fun. I remember
my very first birthday, I really do. I was sitting in one of those little confined, square, wooden tables and my mom had baked a massive chocolate cake for me. In the photo, I recall my hands waving wildly in
the air before they came crashing down into all that chocolate. I'm sure my mother had wished she'd wrapped me in plastic, too. I also remember another
early birthday at my dad's house. We all wore little pointy hats in the basement and there was a sheet cake with "Happy Birthday Candy" on it. (Don't try calling me this now, fyi!) It was all my little girlfriends and one little boy, Raymond Bark. He lived across the street from my dad and I considered him my boyfriend. He was very brave and/or very smart to accept this invite with a
bunch of screaming girls. God bless him…..One of my most memorable birthdays was for my 50th in St. Tropez in the South of France. The party was held at our favorite hotel, the Byblos. They did an amazing
job. For the cocktail reception, the entire stone patio was covered in rose petals. A French quartet serenaded us as we moved to the dining
area… About 100 friends had flown in from all over including my favorite tennis player Jimmy Connors and his beautiful wife (my BFF), Patti Connors. Before the presentation of the
birthday cake amidst a sea of sparklers, friends gave memorable toasts. And, for the first time in history, they closed down the world famous Les Caves du Roy disco and we partied until
the wee hours. Recently, my parties have been local, but the most important element has remained the same. I've been able to spend time with the friends I love and adore. I don't have words
to describe how special these moments are for me and how much I appreciate them. So, if you're trying to ignore a big birthday or feel like it's a waste of time or say to yourself 'oh no, not another birthday',
I beg you to think again. Nothing matters as much as being surrounded by people you love for a celebration of life. PARTY ON!!!! (Additional photos by Mila Samokhina).

assorted chocolates from The Fudge Pot. A paddle raise for scholarship funding raised a record $84,250 for The Academy. The live auction featured a dinner for eight at the home of hosts LaPietra and Kurtis with dinner prepared by Jewell Events Catering, a trip to New York with tickets to see

More than 325 pet lovers joined The Puppy Mill Project at the new Moonlight Studios to honor mother dogs left behind in puppy mills at its 5th annual Mothers in the Mills fundraiser.
The benefit, which raised more than $75,000, is held on the eve of Mother’s Day to raise awareness about the hundreds of thousands of dogs that spend their lives locked up and breeding in cruel puppy mills every year. “We want people to
understand that the majority of those adorable puppies they find in a pet store or online come from a mother who is suffering right now,” says Cari Meyers, founder and
president of The Puppy Mill Project. “Although there have been so many stories in the news the past couple of years about puppy mills and the pet store and internet connection, too many people are still purchasing puppies that are the by product of mass breeding under inhumane conditions in these mills.” The annual event increases awareness while raising funds for the Project’s educational programs and Millie’s Mission, the group's fund that helps rescue
organizations with costs associated with rescuing pets from puppy mills. Paul Lisnek, the political analyst for WGN-TV and host of CLTV's Politics Tonight, emceed the event. This year co-chairs were Brad and Lizabel Young with Graziela and John Kaufman. A host committee included Andy Avalos, Rosemary Fanti and Richard Koranda, Dr. Jane Lohmar, Dr. Rae Ann Van Pelt, Renata and Bob Block, Marta Kenar, Randi Moxi, Carl Giammarese and Chicago’s City Clerk Susana Mendoza and moi.

Hundreds of supporters joined Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center (CCAC) for its inaugural Luminary Award Dinner at the Union League Club on May 7. The event raised more than $260,000 for the center and honored
Alderman Ed Burke and Justice Anne Burke for lighting the path toward hope and healing for children. Co-chaired by Sheila McGinn Dorman
and Hollis Otero, the event was attended by 350 community leaders, professionals and philanthropists in support of restoring the lives of children and families who have experienced sexual abuse. Guests walked a purple carpet, mingled amid cocktails and placed their bids on unique silent
auction packages during the reception in the Club’s Main Lounge. Upstairs in the Union League Room, premium sponsors and VIP guests had a meet-and-greet with the Burkes and
CCAC’s executive staff and board members. The Burkes were awarded the 2015 Luminary Awards for their individual and shared efforts to protect children. Alderman Burke helped secure $9 million in TIF funding for the center, covering the costs of an 18,000-square-foot expansion. Justice Burke was recognized for her
leadership on the Illinois Supreme Court and as the appointed Special Counsel for Child Welfare Services, where she has led efforts to enhance the state’s role in protecting children through the Department of Children and Family Services and law enforcement
agencies. “In more than 40 years of distinguished service, the Burkes have worked tirelessly to protect children in Chicago and throughout Illinois, and we’re proud to celebrate our shared mission,” said CCAC Executive Director Char Rivette.
“Their leadership in our community, their support of Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center and their compassion for children make the Burkes true luminaries.” As part of a special appeal, guests contributed nearly $50,000 for the Center's Growing & Giving campaign. Launched to leverage the city’s TIF
investment, the campaign will raise $2.5 million through 2018 to furnish the new addition and support program growth, including doubling the center’s mental health therapy capacity and expanding education efforts to empower adults to keep children safe. “Since opening our doors in 2001, we have served more than 25,000 children who, as a result of the care and
support they received through Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center, are happier, healthier and safer,” said Rivette.

On May 17, I took part in a delightful photo shoot for Kara Norton's upcoming styling website, KaraNorton.com, that will be
launched in a couple of months. Believe me, this lady knows fashion and I was so impressed! She calls herself a "five star luxury fashion concierge stylist" who will "bend over backwards" for her clients! Her selections were divine and each outfit was so perfectly suited to the model wearing it. I
worked with two other gorgeous FORD models, Nancy Parmelee and Nicola Depinto, on this fun photo shoot at DL Loft, a cool new venue space owned by Debi Lilly at 3050 N. Lincoln. Thanks to photographer Julian Gilliam, Charles Lord (hair stylist) and Jackie (makeup) for

I had the pleasure to meet Ralph Lauren's beautiful daughter Dylan (a new mother of twins!), while she was in town for the opening of her two-story candy boutique in the Tribune Tower at 445 N. Michigan. Dylan's Candy Bar features the largest

Magazine sponsored party at her store where she mingled with her dad and family. (She is the magazine's "sweet" covergirl this month!). Congrats and welcome to the Windy City Dylan! (Dylan also has stores in L.A., East Hampton, N.Y. and Miami).
On a sad note, a friend's father who has Alzheimer's has gone missing. Last seen in South Shore (City of Chicago) in his home, he wandered out Monday evening around 5pm. He is thought to be wearing an off white top with slacks, has a
medium complexion, is 6 feet tall, weighs140 lbs. and has brown eyes and gray hair. He's taking medication for Alzheimer's, but sadly, doesn't take it regularly. According to family friend Shawna Prince, "He is not violent. He is nice and probably scared because he's often scared. He is confused and may only be able to answer his name appropriately, Serie McDougal Jr. He has no tattoos, lots of moles on his back and is very skinny!" A police report was filed last week (Tuesday). He's now been missing for nearly a week. Anyone with info about the man pictured, please contact Shawna at 773-835-1873. Thank you.
