Making Contributions to the Field Mission the Lloyd A
Lloyd A. Fry Foundation 2005 Annual Report Making Contributions to the Field Mission The Lloyd A. Fry Foundation supports organizations with the strength and commitment to address persistent problems of urban Chicago resulting from poverty, violence, ignorance, and despair. We seek to build the capacity of individuals and the systems that serve them. Our vision is a Chicago that offers education, prosperity, and hope for all. About the Foundation In 1933 Lloyd A. Fry founded the Lloyd A. Fry Roofing Company on the Southwest Side of Chicago. During the next five decades, the company grew to become the world’s largest manufacturer of asphalt roofing and allied products, with nearly 5,000 dedicated employees in manufacturing facilities nationwide. The company was sold to Owens-Corning Fiberglass Corporation in 1977. In large part, the proceeds from the sale of the company now serve as the endowment of the Lloyd A. Fry Foundation. The Foundation has been addressing the needs of the Chicago community since 1983.

LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014
THE LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014 Mayor Rahm Emanuel City Hall - 121 N LaSalle St. Chicago, IL 60602 Dear Mayor Emanuel, As co-chairs of the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum Site Selection Task Force, we are delighted to provide you with our report and recommendation for a site for the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum. The response from Chicagoans to this opportunity has been tremendous. After considering more than 50 sites, discussing comments from our public forum and website, reviewing input from more than 300 students, and examining data from myriad sources, we are thrilled to recommend a site we believe not only meets the criteria you set out but also goes beyond to position the Museum as a new jewel in Chicago’s crown of iconic sites. Our recommendation offers to transform existing parking lots into a place where students, families, residents, and visitors from around our region and across the globe can learn together, enjoy nature, and be inspired. Speaking for all Task Force members, we were both honored to be asked to serve on this Task Force and a bit awed by your charge to us. The vision set forth by George Lucas is bold, and the stakes for Chicago are equally high. Chicago has a unique combination of attributes that sets it apart from other cities—a history of cultural vitality and groundbreaking arts, a tradition of achieving goals that once seemed impossible, a legacy of coming together around grand opportunities, and not least of all, a setting unrivaled in its natural and man-made beauty.

Grant Park Tour, Chicago Preview
Table of Contents Cover Tour Summary Glorious Grant Park Tips Chapter 1 - Millennium Park Chapter 2 - Art Institute of Chicago Chapter 3 - Field Museum Chapter 4 - Shedd Aquarium Chapter 5 - Adler Planetarium Chapter 6 - What About Grant Park? Maps Author Biography Publisher Tour Summary Grant Park is a large urban park in the downtown “Loop” area of Chicago, Illinois. The park has been host to large urban gatherings such as the Taste of Chicago, sport championship celebrations, and President Obama’s presidential acceptance speech. Grant Park’s most notable features are Millennium Park, Buckingham Fountain, and four world-class museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum of Natural History, the Adler Planetarium, and the John G. Shedd Aquarium. Other hidden gems reside in little-known areas throughout Grant Park. We’ll reveal all the new additions and some old favorites that even lifetime Chicagoans may not know exist! Back to Table of Contents Glorious Grant Park This tour will begin in the northwestern corner of Grant Park known as Millennium Park, one of the most popular “parks within a park” to be found in any U.S. city. Just completed a few years ago, it is already a big hit with tourists and locals alike. The original Chicago development plan was to leave the area east of Michigan Avenue vacant. New land purchasers of Michigan Avenue lots in 1839 were promised that the land between them and Lake Michigan would remain unoccupied and declared “Public ground. Forever to remain vacant of buildings.” When the land was deeded in the mid-19th century it was originally named Lake Park, only to be renamed Grant Park in 1901 after the famous Civil War general, president, and Illinois resident.

The Windy City, the City of Big Shoulders, the Second City—No Matter What You Call It, the 1,900 Alumni in Chicago Love to Show O≠ Their Town
Show Us Your Town The Windy City, the City of Big Shoulders, the Second City—no matter what you call it, the 1,900 alumni in Chicago love to show o≠ their town. By Maya Dukmasova ’12 As the air turns crisp in the early days of fall, Chicago’s Lake Michigan beaches close for the season—but even if she’s not going for a swim, Brittany Hopkins ’14 frequently visits the strip of sand between one of the world’s largest lakes and the rearing skyscrapers of American’s third‑larg‑ est city. On some days the lake stretches out in a placid sheet, the water a Caribbean turquoise; on others it roils in tattered, gun‑metal gray waves. “In Chicago, people are very in tune and engaged with the lake,” she says. “It’s just such a beautiful view.” Chicago’s lakefront has been almost exclusively reserved for public recre‑ ation since the early 20th century. Roughly 26 miles of parkland and beaches separate development from the waters along the city’s eastern edge. And whether you’re someone like Hopkins, with roots in the city stretching back three generations, or you’re a newcomer, the lake is a continual draw. As Javaree Walker ’12S (MS), ’15S (MBA), a recent transplant from the East Coast, sees it, Chicago’s “Riviera” rivals the city beaches of Miami—and defi‑ nitely surpasses those of New York. He often recommends that people come in the warmer months not only to enjoy them but also to truly acquire a taste for Chicago.
