Uptown Chamber of Commerce

Join the Uptown Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Selfhelp Home for an informative networking event featuring Melinda Kotansky, Director of Business Development at Unity Hospice and Palliative, as a speaker.

Melinda will provide an accessible overview of hospice and palliative care, including what these services are, how the care process works, when they may be appropriate, and how they can support individuals and their families during serious illness.

Come for the conversation, stay for the networking! Lunch and beverages will be provided. REGISTER HERE: https://partners.exploreuptown.org/events/details/uptown-chamber-networking-at-the-self-help-home-9979

The Selfhelp Home is a nonprofit senior living community in Chicago that has been serving older adults since 1938 with a range of residential, rehabilitation, and skilled-care services while fostering a strong sense of community and connection. Selfhelp originated as a refuge for Holocaust survivors and continues to honor that legacy through compassionate, high-quality care. The organization is also a CMS 5-Star Rated Medicare-Licensed Facility.

🌧️ RAIN OR SHINE, THE ARGYLE NIGHT MARKET IS ON! 🌙✨

A little rain isn’t stopping the Argyle Night Market from taking place tonight! Come hungry, grab your umbrella, and join us on Argyle & Sheridan from 5–9pm for food, shopping, drinks, music and good vibes.

🥁 IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE UPDATE: Tonight’s Chicago Drum Festival performance has been cancelled. The organizers have notified us that traditional percussion instruments are particularly vulnerable to water and moisture, and they cannot be exposed to rain.
