Manor Garden Club Plant Sale
Place is in front of Luther Memorial Church, 2500 W.Wilson, at Campbell. We will have container workshops during the sale this year, with a limited number of pots and soil available so you can go home with a planted container garden. We will be selling vegetables, herbs, annuals, perennials and a selection of member-donated perennials dug from our gardens. Sale takes place rain or shine. We’d love to answer your gardening questions or help you pick out your plants. Thanks, Anne Rozmin, President, MGC
Globalfest at St. Matthias
Next up: If you lived in this country, you would celebrate the “name day” of the saint that bears your name rather than your birthday. Philippines, Nigeria, Germany, Ireland, Greece, Mexico, England, Poland, or Vietnam?

NATO SUMMIT
Leaders from around the world will be converging on Chicago in a couple weeks for an important diplomatic summit hosted by President Barack Obama. As the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) holds its meetings here on May 20 and 21, the world will be viewing Chicago’s economic vitality, arts and architecture, and can-do spirit.
While the summit itself will be closed to the public, the Chicago NATO Host Committee is making plans for a variety of programs to inform the community about this historic event. Through their partners such as The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, World Sport Chicago and Illinois Restaurant Association, the Host Committee has organized lectures on foreign affairs, contests for students, special dining programs, and much more. Information about all of these programs, plus more information about the benefits of the summit on the City of Chicago, can be found in the Chicago Residents section of the Chicago NATO website. You can also find a summary of related events in their Events Listing.
