This week at GiGi's Chicago

Type-only logo
Upcoming Schedule of Events
(Chicago Style)
Good Morning, Chicago Families! 

 

After last week's long e-mail, I'll just keep this one short and simple.

Game Night

We've been talking about it, and now it's time to register. Come on out on Game Night 4 PromoSaturday, May 21, for an adults-only evening of fun, games and friendly competition. We'll have tournaments for Jenga, Connect 4, Baggo and several Wii golf competitions (prizes and bragging rights go to the winners). Plus, you may get your name on this fine trophy.

 

Literacy Registration

Don't forget to fill out an application for our Summer Literacy Session. The session begins June 13 and runs through August 20. The application deadline is May 27, and currently enrolled families must reapply. Applications are available in the Playhouse, or you can request on via e-mail.

Drama Club Request

Our teen Drama Club is gearing up for a spring performance of selected scenes from Romeo and Juliet, and they could use your help. There's a need for costuming (fabric and sewing skills, in particular), set design and construction (including supplies) and props (in particular some toy swords for the duels). If you can help, either with time, contacts or financial donations, let us know.

OK, that was a little longer than I expected. But thanks for your attention.

The 5K Is Coming!


Gigi's Playhouse's annual Chicagoland 5K is coming, and it's going to be bigger and better than ever before. 

 

This year's 5K is at a new location: The Arboretum Shopping Center of South Barrington (on the corner of Rt. 72 and 59). But it will still feature all of the things that made it great in the past: a 5K fun-run, a 1-Mile Walk and the Dash for Down syndrome. It's always a fun time for the family and a great way to see the impact we're making not only in Chicago, but all around the region. 

 

The date is June 12. What are you waiting for? Register now ($25/person), set up a team, start training and get your friends and family to support you.

 

And don't forget to designate "Chicago" as your Playhouse affiliation. That money comes right back to us.
