Mayer Daley held his press conference at Arthur A. Libby elementary school located at 5300 S. Loomis. At the press conference, Mayor Daley explained the importance of charity and giving back. One Good Deed Chicago focuses on facilitating volunteerism processes and opportunities by not only matching up volunteers with non-profits but also providing an interactive platform for communication among volunteers and non-profits. Founded in New York City by Mayor Bloomberg, Mayor Daley and 15 other mayors from cities around the nation, Cities of Service is a nation-wide project to increase volunteerism. I can't wait to see what they have planned for us goodwill ambassadors...I feel so much like Angelina Jolie when I say that; but where is my Brad Pitt, haha, I'm a dork, I admit! Please check out the website when you get a chance, http://www.onegooddeedchicago.org/.
I attended the VIP opening of the new Calvin Klein Loft. Besides making some of the most comfortable underwear, sorry if that was too much information, Calvin Klein specializes in a timeless, classic look. Ten percent of the sales from that night went to The Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation. The pop-up store carries your CK basics from T-shirts and jeans to more fall wardrobe musts such as sweaters, knits and jackets. Such a small world too; I ran into my fellow One Man Chicago friends Jason Laws, James Goeke, and Philip Chang. I guess stylish minds think alike!
This has started off to be a great fall! Please save the date for my next P.Y.G. cocktail party. We have a lot of fun surprises planned for the evening, and I'm excited to announce that fund manager giant Jay Michael will be the keynote speaker for the night. www.p-y-g.org
