In May, The Service Club of Chicago hosted its annual fundraising event, The Spring Hat Luncheon, at The Langham in downtown Chicago. Guests stepped out in their finest hats and enjoyed a red-carpet entrance, live music, luncheon and a hat contest.

The theme of the Hat Luncheon this year was “The Many Hats We Wear” and honored and and celebrated the many roles women have in life – friend, mother, sister, wife, partner, businesswoman, etc. The Service Club of Chicago is an organization of women which has continually served charitable needs since 1890.

The mission of The Service Club of Chicago is to award grants that will expand facilities, improve equipment and initiate new programs for Chicagoland’s 501(c)(3) organizations. Visit theserviceclubofchicago.org for more information. ■
