As we begin our 36th year of bringing harmony to life in Naperville, we are joining voices with a special mixed chorus composed of members of SHARE and our community to present a “Voices of Hope” style concert to raise awareness for the local chapter of SHARE. SHARE is an organization that serves and supports those who are touched by the tragic loss of a child through miscarriage, stillbirth or in the first few months of life. The program uses the power of music to inspire, uplift, and heal the soul. 
Audience members will also have an opportunity to help the local SHARE organization in their fundraising for projects such as creating a family grieving room at Edward Hospital in Naperville. 
Tickets may be purchased and printed on our website, www.napervillemensgleeclub.org , are available from NMGC members, or may be purchased at the door.

All are welcome! You need not be a member of the Heritage Society to attend. Behind the stars: The Remarkable Women Who Helped Build Chicago Historian Laurie Russell is the author of the book, The Remarkable Women Who Helped Build Chicago. She explains that the stars on the Chicago flag represent four major events that changed Chicago forever: Ft. Dearborn Massacre, Chicago Fire, World’s Columbian Exposition, and Century of Progress World’s Fair. Her presentation examines how women responded to these events, and in the process built the city we know today. Included are women who risked their lives in the Underground Railroad, built hospitals and schools, contributed to the arts, created progressive women’s club movements and more.
