The Orrington Hotel has a dynamite dance floor.  Brush up or learn new steps with FREE swing dance lessons from 6:45-7:25 pm. Live music begins at 7:30 featuring the Old Men’s Jazz Band. These 18 talented musicians love celebrating the big band swing traditions by playing a mix of arrangements from the best hits of the 40's to more recent numbers with a "swing attitude".

 

The Old Men’s Jazz Band has played gigs for the Goodman Theatre Women's Board at Navy Pier, and other Chicago events and venues including the Drake Hotel, Chicago History Museum and more. They have generously donated their time for this event.

 

The evening includes an Exciting Auction, a raffle for a 32G iPad 2 (licensed by the city of Evanston), passed appetizers and a cash bar.

 

The Samaritan Counseling Center provides mental health support through counseling and educational programs.  Our 7 offices are located in Chicago and throughout the North Shore.  Fees collected provide approximately 54% of the annual budget.  The remainder comes from donors and fundraising events like this.

 

 Please join us for an upbeat evening and “Swing into Summer”.
