Our Annual Holiday Gala!

Join IWOC-ers for an evening of sumptuous food, warm camaraderie, and holiday cheer (of all types) as we celebrate another year of IWOC-osity and look forward to the next. As always, the party will include a visit from Santa himself, as well as the exchange of gently used books*.

This year, the fun takes place at Marcello's Father & Son Restaurant at 645 W. North Avenue in Chicago, where there is plenty of free parking in the lot. It starts at 6:00 p.m., and the cows come home at 8:30.

The cost? Just $35 for dinner, including soft drinks and coffee—a cash bar is available. (Online registration by December 6 is required.)

We look forward to seeing you there!

* Don't bother to wrap the book you bring to exchange. The wrapping-paper suppliers will survive. And if you don't have a book to bring, don't worry. You're still completely welcome.
