Your Guide to Chicago's Northcenter, Lincoln Square, Ravenswood Manor, Roscoe Village and West Lakeview.
The Lincoln Square Chamber of Commerce held its annual meeting at the Chicago Brauhaus, 4732 N. Lincoln Ave., last Tuesday to discuss plans for the upcoming year, including a new summer festival, and elect new board members.
Executive Director Melissa Flynn touted the group’s recent three-star accreditation by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as a signifier of quality work, but the big news was Flynn’s announcement that the Chamber is working to launch a new summer festival in the Lincoln Square, July 28 – 29. Flynn was not forthcoming with further details.
Two new board members were elected to the Chamber: Darby Putman, a partner at Fountainhead, and Mike Collins of 3 Tree Marketing. Jason Kraus, of Brezicrew Development, was elected to his first term as president of the Chamber.
