| SOLD OUT - A pair of tickets to "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me!" |
|
Nothing screams “fun night night out” like an evening with a 5-star meal and tickets to see Hamilton at the CIBC Theatre! However, this is not that kind of evening… and as we all know, Hamilton is only the SECOND hottest ticket in Chicago. The hottest ticket in Chicago is, of course, NPR’s Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! Now in its 21st year (that’s right, Morning Edition doesn’t have to buy them booze anymore) Wait Wait is the hour-long news quiz that makes fun of politicians and their policies while simultaneously legitimizing dumb criminals and potty humor. Host and long-time Oak Park resident Peter Sagal, along with Judge & Scorekeeper Bill Kurtis, lead a rotating panel of comedians, journalists, and humorists through a comic review of the week’s news. And this is your chance to see the show live! Included in this package are two (2) tickets to see the show at the Chase Bank Auditorium in downtown Chicago! Does it get better than this? Yes, it probably does… Date to be mutually agreed upon based on availability. Tickets must be redeemed before December 31, 2019. This offer is for one set of two (2) tickets. | 1 | 0 | .00075E7 | 75 | N | N | |

| Custom 3D Printed Ceramics/Lessons in 3D Design |
|
I make ceramic objects of many different varieties. My most recent work has been exploration of vessels and sculpture made with a clay 3D printer. We will work together for an hour or two to create and prepare models for 3D printing. I will walk you through several simple yet powerful methods to quickly create vessel forms by lofting or revolving curves, and/or using a 3D scanner to create models of you or a loved one. After our design session, I will print and fire your models and send you the digital versions to keep for future viewing or another project. If learning about design, 3D printing, or my adventures in ceramics sounds interesting, I’d love to hang out and share some of it with you. Please check out my website where you can see many examples of my work: www.bowiecroisant.com | 2 | 0 | .001E7 | 100 | N | N | |

| Fabulous French Market soup or Gumbo Ya-Ya |
|
Alan has been making French Market soup and Gumbo Ya-Ya for our parties for many years and has modified and enhanced the recipes to perfection! His French Market soup is hearty and chock full of beans, vegetables, ham hocks, chicken, and pork andouille sausage in a tomato and chicken broth. The Gumbo Ya-Ya (pictured) is Emeril Lagasse’s recipe, starting with a whole chicken for the stock and a dark, rich roux that requires much time and patience to make. It is full of shredded chicken and pork andouille sausage. It has an authentic and unique flavor, and we like to serve it with white rice. “Gumbo Ya-Ya” loosely translates to “everybody talking at once” and refers to the mélange of people – French, Spanish, Indian, Acadian and African American - who melded together in Louisiana’s bayou country creating a unique community. Alan will make your choice of soup that is enough to serve 10-12 people. French Market soup is gluten free, and the gumbo can also be made gluten-free if you prefer.

The debate has gone far beyond tastes great or less filling when it comes to beer. In fact there are those among us who believe that beer deserves a place at the table equal to (or perhaps greater than?) wine. Paula Spears, Ed Malone and Keith Huizinga invite you to jump into the ring and join the debate. The evening will include a multi-course gourmet dining experience, each course will have a specially selected wine (Ed) and beer (Keith) for our guests to sample. You will then have the opportunity to vote on the best pairing for each course. At the end of the evening we will tally the votes and determine once and for all (or at least until next year) the champion of fermented beverages. | 8 | 0 | .0006E7 | 60 | 11/2/19 6:00 PM | N | N |

| Sojourn to Showmen’s Rest |
|
Learn the fascinating history of Showmen’s Rest, a 750-plot section of Woodlawn Cemetery in Forest Park. Five granite elephants keep watch over the resting place of those who once traveled with circuses and carnivals. The first to be interred here were victims of one of the worst disasters in circus history, the 1918 train wreck of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus. A place that holds many mysteries, it’s said about Showman’s Rest that if you are nearby at night you can hear the sounds of mourning elephants. Rich Pokorny and Joan Suchomel will share with you some of the history of this heartbreaking and beautiful place, where the final acts of both the famous and the unnamed have taken place. After our tour we will invite you to enjoy a traditional picnic on the grounds at Woodlawn. Please note, in case you have mobility concerns: We are not permitted to set up tables and chairs, so “traditional” and “on the grounds” literally means we will be sitting on blankets on the ground. | 12 | 0 | .00015E7 | 15 | 7/21/19 12:00 PM | Y | Y |

As an experienced Photoshop artist, Jim Parks can do any number of tricks to enhance your favorite photos. While he may not be able to make you smile on paper, he can brighten your day by electronically repairing tears, scratches, faded contrast, and in some cases faded color. Isolating a subject from its background, adding drop shadows, removing dust specks and putting your head on another person's body are also possible. Dig out those treasured or historic family photos and have them spruced up for your display shelves or as gifts. He will work on as many photos as possible in one hour from either prints (up to 8.5 x 11) which he will scan and return, or from electronic files. You will get back electronic files to print in the size you desire. To see examples, visit http://www.jpedit.com/category/photo-restoration.

| Angel of Wisdom Wood Sculpture by John Taylor |
|
UT member and artist, crafts sculptures from found wood guided by the principle that~ "Useless wood usually waits for nature’s scavengers to devour its substance or someone to set it ablaze. Though rejected by humans and nature alike, a piece of 'found' wood can become a thing of beauty if it is worked with patience and care. The cracks, hidden rot, worm holes, knots and twisted grains of found wood impose many restrictions on the sculptor, but to me these defects offer an engaging challenge – the faults become assets." The Angel says: "Wisdom is taking in bird's flight of adventure, elephant's listening for signs of peril and gain." The Angel of Wisdom is suitable for indoor or outdoor display. I completed this piece in 2015 after ageing the wood indoors for one year (2014/15). I then kept it outside for the fall/winter of 2015/16 Dimensions: Height- 30" Width- 7" I have three different views of the piece for you to see, with separate links below: Click Sculpture to view the sculpture.

| SOLD OUT - 12 Cannas planted in your garden |
|
I will plant 12 cannas in a prepared soil spot at your home or other location within 25 miles of the church. Cannas are tropical flowers, the variety I have grows to about 5 feet high with broad sword-like leaves and spikes that produce brilliant scarlet flowers. If you deadhead the flower spikes they will bloom prolifically all season. Cannas will grow best with lots of sun and moist soil. Cannas are planted only an inch or so deep. They grow from rhizomes not technically bulbs and the rhizomes grow horizontally. Being tropical they will not survive the winter in this part of the world unless you dig them up and store them in a dry dark cool place for the winter. They are easy to dig and to store and they will last forever and multiply with minor care. Of course you can leave them in the ground and buy new as desired. Note: Planting must be after the soil is warm, late April to late May for best results. Planting after June is really too late. Cannas can do well in larger planters if kept moist. | 1 | 0 | .0003E7 | 30 | N | N | |

| A Wonderful Dinner Evening in "Golden Prague"" |
|
Old Bohemia, or Golden Prague, and the peaceful countryside of Moravia conjure up nostalgic images of times gone by. And that is what we want you to experience. We will start your evening with old recipe appetizers of rich pates with toasts, smoked trout and cheeses with white and red wines. As you settle in, we will have some wonderful Czech music playing, some inspiring pictures, and a brief review of what it was like to be Bohemian years ago. We want to take you back in time! As we move to the Czech dinner table, a wonderful Moravian potato/dill soup with home-made rye bread, and sweet cream butter will extend your culinary journey. The main course will be "Svichkova", a marinated beef tenderloin, with a rich complex gravy served over home-made dumplings and red cabbage. Pilsner beer will accompany your meal, or maybe more wine? When we retire to the living room,a homemade apple strudel with whipped cream, coffee/tea will be served while you listen to Professor John Tanderich regale you with the history of this intriguing land. As you finish your evening, we will be grateful for your company, and the shared experience of our immigrant background! | 12 | -2 | .00045E7 | 45 | 9/13/19 6:00 PM | N | N |

| Three days in a Tiny House |
|
Have you heard about The Tiny House Revolution? Folks are building very small houses that are unique and very livable. We took eighteen months and built a tiny house on the shores of a small lake outside of South Haven, Michigan. It has a kitchen, full bath, a loft, and a double bed with a single bed on top. There is also a single bed. This tiny house can sleep four people, or six people if they want to climb a ladder to the loft. This is about a 2.5 hour drive from Oak Park, in the heart of blueberry country. Included is the use of a rowboat, a tree house playground on top of the hill, a large outdoor fire pit, and a very nice patio and grill for cooking. North Lake is a 90 acre lake and has wonderful fishing for Blue Gill, Crappie, and Bass; so bring your fishing rod. Come Thursday night and stay until Monday morning. Date to be arranged by mutual consent. Not available Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day. | 2 | 0 | .00275E7 | 275 | N | N | |
