Judy Casten opened her historic Hinsdale home to our morning after party.  What a wonderful celebration it was after months of planning, organizing, worrying and working to make Books & Brunch 2010 the best ever. Attendance hit an all time high with 324 paid guests and 9 comps.

We netted about $61,000 to continue our philanthropic programs in an economic climate that is seeing less charitable giving and more cutbacks in social services. Long time supporters and people newly acquainted with Assistance League believe in our mission to help children, women and families in our neighborhoods and the surrounding communities.
