Chicago West sisters had the honor of attending the Arthritis Foundation's Freedom of Movement of Gala. It was a wonderful evening supporting and raising funds for the Arthritis Foundation!

A new season of book club is upon us! October's pick was "The Trap" by Catherine Ryan Howard.

Cheers to 35 years! This summer Jessie and Chris co-chaired their 35th Reunion at the University of Chicago. They celebrated with their Phi Chi sisters and even won The Green Gargoyle Award for best reunion committee!

While summer is not over, it is going by fast! It's hard to believe that it's time to start thinking about the new year. Last night members of Chicago West's officer team met to plan out our calendar. Get ready for a mix of old and new events, sisterhood outings, philanthropy opportunities, and so much more!

Sue Trump and her family have also had a summer filled with travel adventures! From Budapest on a Danube River Cruise, Ixtapa, Mexico by the Pacific Ocean, and Prague!

How would you describe summer? As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air." Summer is a time for relaxation, new adventures, and visits with family and friends.

Lori and her family traveled to the Canadian Rockies for a week filled with adventures and fun! They walked on a glacier, biked, hiked, and white water rafted! Here they are pictured at Jasper National Park in Alberta!
