North River Commission 50th Anniversary Celebration

The North River Commission is celebrating 50 years of community development. Founded in 1962 by concerned residents and neighborhood institutions NRC unites over 100 civic associations, businesses, schools, institutions and places of worship on the northwest side of Chicago to improve the quality of life for all constituents in our community by creating affordable housing, quality education, arts & cultural endeavors, open spaces, and stable neighborhood businesses.

Please join us for our 50th Anniversary Celebration. We've planned an evening of cocktails, hor d'oeuvres, music, a live auction, raffle and a video presentation showcasing our work over the past 50 years. Our host restaurant, Bread and Wine, one of our community's hottest new restaurants specializing in farm to table cuisine, is preparing a special tasting menu featuring a variety of homemade cheeses, meats, pates, and desserts.

Tickets for the event are $50. Space is limited so please order your tickets today.
