The Eire "Book Club"

With two book clubs and a library, books are a main topic of discussion at Eire. Hillary and I are relative newbies to the book club world compared to Katie and Marcia whose book club has been up and running for 10 years. Proving herself to be our go to book gal, Katie’s office houses Eire’s make shift library. The collection ranges from a favorite of Katie’s Three Cups of Tea to the Hunger Games trilogy to Bob Stone’s Successful Direct Marketing Methods, obviously. 

Recently, Let the Great World Spin made it through the entire creative/production department, over to Marcia, and then to Jacki and the account service team. A book with several stories woven together, we cleared up questions but opinions differ greatly on best story. Good thing we’re able to put all differences in opinion behind us. Even though, I know the one about the old woman is by far the most interesting.

Running for a Cause

Last weekend Marcia and Hillary both ran in the American Brain Tumor Association's "Path to Progress" 5k event. Despite less-than-optimal weather conditions, they had a good time and were proud to participate and show support for friends and their family members. Path to Progress is an annual spring event that continues to grow every year, and takes runners and walkers up and down the Chicago lakefront. It's a great way to get out and see the city while making a contribution to a worthy cause – so consider joining them next year!

Passing the Baton

Today marks a big day for the city of Chicago. Mayor Richard M. Daley, the city’s longest-serving mayor, steps down and is replaced by former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Whether you love him or hate him, Mayor Daley’s has had some serious staying power here. In 1989, the year he was elected to his first term, I was in the 5^th grade. Paula Abdul and Milli Vanilli both had 3 #1 hits on the Billboard charts, and Rain Man won the Oscar for Best Picture. My, how time flies.

Congratulations, Mr. Daley. Welcome, Mayor Emanuel!
