Bill Hinchcliff will present an hour program on "Travel through Chicago and See The World: Celebrating Chicago's Amazing Ethnic Diversity."

That's a quotation from Mayor Daley (first part of the title), reminding us that Chicago is one of the world's most diverse cities, right up there with New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, London, and Paris.

With slides accompanied by commentary, Bill will take us on a journey through the city, highlighting along the way some 10 different neighborhoods, stretching from the Far North Side to the South Side. Included in the list are Ukrainian, Polish, Swedish, German, Irish, Mexican, Chinese, and Orthodox (Russian) Jewish Chicago.

Bill is well known for his architectural tours and presentations in and about Chicago. He has given many architectural tours for the Art Institute, among many will known institutes and educational groups. He gave a presentation for NICE and the Lake Forest Senior Center several years ago. He has just returned to Chicago and we are lucky that he was available for our next meeting.

Bring as many guests as you want, but please reserve places by sending their names to Pete. peterobertclark@aol.com
