This Memorial Day, we want to highlight "Above and Beyond," a memorial here in Chicago installed on this day over 20 years ago. The display was commissioned by the National Veterans Art Museum and created by veterans Rick Steinbock, Ned Broderick, Joe Fornelli, and Mike Helbing.

Located at the Harold Washington Library, “Above and Beyond” is the only memorial other than one in Washington's D.C. that represents each U.S. serviceperson killed in action during the war. The piece displays 58,307 dog tags, all hand-stamped using an old military machine, with the name, date of death, and military branch of the deceased service members. A single black tag serves as a memorial for “soldiers who died from conditions related to service during the Vietnam War.”

May this display so profound remind you of the debt that we can never fully repay!

Happy Memorial Day ❤️🤍💙

If you're interested in sustainable party favors and decor, consider an activity like DIY floral arrangements! Display vases of flowers and fillers, then encourage your guests to create custom bouquets to take home. An additional tip? Spend the weeks prior collecting vases, coffee or teapots, or other vessels from thrift stores to show off your blooms!

Little known fact: May is Gifts from the Garden Month! In celebration, our venue spotlight is Lincoln Park Conservatory. The Lincoln Park Conservatory and Gardens provide a perfectly peaceful, enchanting atmosphere for your next event!

Before the ceremony, perhaps consider a first look, taking a breath, walking down the isles with your spouse-to-be in the famed Grandmother's Garden. For cocktail hour, immerse yourself and dine amongst the lush greenery of the conservatory's Showroom. Then, dance the night away in the Formal Garden

The Lincoln Park Conservatory is such a versatile venue, offering options for indoor, open-air, or tented elements for your next event.

Mitzvahs are a 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭, as evidenced by Stacy Friedman in 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘰 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘔𝘺 𝘉𝘢𝘵 𝘔𝘪𝘵𝘻𝘷𝘢𝘩. And, according to Stacy, it's not just because you're turning 12 or 13, but rather because they hold the key to elevated social status!..or, maybe the opportunity to reconcile with your very best friend? Well, whatever your motive, here's a Mitzvah theme inspired by Lydia Rodriguez Katz's SWEET party! Mojito bar up to parental discretion. 😉
