CHICAGO WINTER EVENTS GUIDE 2018 Dear Friends,

Winter season is upon us, and I would like to highlight some of the exciting events taking place in and around . Whether you're sliding across the ice at Millennium Park's rink or singing along to Lorde live, you are guaranteed to appreciate the activity and entertainment the city has to offer.

A Chicago native myself, I have always enjoyed the city's ability to be both a hub for business development and a host for cultural expression. It is for this reason that I have stayed in Chicago to build my company and raise my family.

Don't let the season pass by without treating yourself to one of the many celebrations going on in Chicago. I invite you to use this guide as a resource for entertaining family, friends, or colleagues.

Thank you and enjoy the winter festivities!

Sincerely,

Tom Gimbel President & CEO LaSalle Network WINTER EVENTS 2018 2018 WINTER EVENTS
