The Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) issued the results of a study on hunger in Chicago. Four areas of the city were found to have especially high rates of hunger, and the GCFD has instituted a new mobile food pantry program to target those areas most in need.

The Mission of Our Lady of the Angels serves one such area and hosts the mobile food pantry. Volunteers are needed from 9 until Noon (and can arrive late if necessary) to help dispense food from the mobile food pantry and greet members of the community.

Our Lady of the Angels, run by ND alum Father Bob Lombardo, '79, is located on Chicago’s West Side at 3808 West Iowa, near Pulaski and Chicago. Please visit the website and email Don Pierce at don.pierce.jr@gmail.com if you are able to join us.

We have golf outings. We have sports banquets. NOW, it's time to dance!

The ND Club of Chicago has had a few Networking Dance events in the past which were quite fun and well attended (an Argentine tango event and a salsa event) in addition to gathering for Summer Dance a couple years ago.

A dance lesson really is a great way to meet people. You don't need a partner to participate. You switch partners every minute or so, so you meet lots of people.

Chicago Summer Dance runs June 17 - August 29 in Grant Park. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday there is a dance lesson from 6 pm - 7 pm and then live music and dancing 7:30 - 9:30 pm. On Sunday afternoon, there is a free lesson from 4:00 - 5:00 pm with dancing afterwards, typically to a live orchestra.

Here are the tentative dates we plan to attend at this time:

Sunday, August 1- Lesson - Cha Cha with Kasper Dance Studio with live ballroom music after the lesson.

So if you think you are interested and would like to be added to the Dance List to get confirming e-mails of when and where we will meet, etc. please send Michele Cahill, Club Director, an e-mail at ndclubadmin@earthlink.net. (If it looks like rain, we might need to cancel at the last minute and we might add dates.)

Bring your favorite dance partner or come by yourself. No partner needed. (Actually, at our other events, we had as many if not more men show up than women.) Time to elevate your happy endorphins and enjoy beautiful Grant Park in the summertime. Even if you don't dance, it's a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon listening to a live orchestra and watching people dance. Come early to get a chair and a position near the dance floor.

You can download the complete schedule CLICKING HERE!

NO, YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DANCE. (That's why they have a lesson!)

Did you ever just want to connect with someone from the ND Club of Chicago face to face instead of exchanging e-mails all the time? Now you have a chance.

Once a month, you can meet the Club Director, Michele Cahill and the Networking Chair, Linda Weaver, informally for coffee before work at the Corner Bakery in the Santa Fe Building (224 S. Michigan Ave). They will be there from 7:30-8:30am to chat with you about whatever is on your mind!

New to Chicago? Wondering how to get involved? Just want to put a name with a face? Got an idea for the Club? Sign up in advance by sending an e-mail to Michele at ndclubadmin@earthlink.net.

We are limiting this to a max of 10 people per month so we can get to know you. No cost other than whatever you might want to buy yourself to drink or eat.

Scheduled dates: Tuesday, August 24; Tuesday, September 28.

If no one needs us, we'll spend the time thinking up more networking events! But if you need us, we'll be there for you. : )

The Irish Entrepreneurs welcome Scott A. Hales who will present M&A Options: Selling Your Business In Today's Market.

Prior to joining Metronome Partners, Scott co-founded Marksman Venture Partners—a merchant banking boutique providing advisory services to lower middle-market and venture-backed businesses in the Midwest. Before Marksman, Scott was a Vice President at Citi Capital Strategies (division of Citigroup®), where he was involved in the successful completion of over 35 transactions valued at nearly one billion dollars in the aggregate. Scott joined Citi Capital Strategies from NatWest Markets, where he was on the relationship management team in the corporate and investment banking group, and responsible for the delivery and execution of a wide range of financial products and solutions.

In 2002, Scott co-founded Post Oak Partners—a real estate management company specializing in the end-to-end operation of investor-owned properties, currently with over $50 million in assets under management. Scott earned his Bachelor of Business Administration at the University of Notre Dame, and his M.B.A. in Accounting and Entrepreneurship from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.

Scott takes in the great outdoors as much as possible, and appreciates good live comedy and a well-stocked tackle box. He lives with his wife Kelly and their two kids in Wicker Park.

2011

January 20 - Before Work

February 17 - Before Work

March 17 - Before Work (Happy St. Patty's Day!)

You may not have time to linger after work at a Happy Hour, but you can surely invest one hour a month to meet a lot of ND alumni, make a few new friends and even, perhaps, make a connection to your next business opportunity! We bet it will be the best investment you make this year. If we didn't believe that, we wouldn't waste our time doing this!

This annual event is a crowd pleaser! The Ft. Dearborn takes us on a cruise of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan!

All are welcome but nobody under the age of 21 will be permitted to consume alcoholic beverages.
