Chicago Literary Hall of Fame

On Sept. 15, 2018, the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame will host a fundraiser in the fabulous penthouse party room at the top of the 38-story <A HREF="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1700_East_56th_Street" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">1700 Building</A> in Hyde Park. All proceeds from the evening will go to fund programming throughout the year, including our upcoming Fuller Award for lifetime achievement (Stuart Dybek at Poetry Foundation Oct. 30), our annual induction ceremony, author discussions, staged readings, and much more. 
The main activities for the evening are trivia and our silent auction, but it is also an evening of food, drink, music, conversation, and a spectacular lake view. There will be a good dose of Chicago and literary themed trivia questions, along with more general knowledge questions in a variety of categories.
Teams of five to seven players will compete for prizes and boasting rights. The cost is $30 per person and includes drink and food. Gather your friends to form your own team, or <A HREF="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/triviaclhof-tickets-46419822940" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer">sign up</A> as an individual and we’ll place you on a team. 
Please <A HREF="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/triviaclhof-tickets-46419822940" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer">reserve your tickets</A> for a fun evening that will help the CLHOF continue doing its best to serve our literary community.
Silent auction items will include original artwork, collectible books, theme baskets (such as At the Movies, Play Ball, and Sweet Tooth), tickets for cultural events around town, special experiential packages, and much more. Time will be built into the trivia contest—before and between rounds—for people to bid on items. There will be a half hour at the completion of the trivia contest for guests to make final bids. We accept cash, credit cards and checks. 
Thanks for <A HREF="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/triviaclhof-tickets-46419822940" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer">your participation</A> and see you on Sept. 15! Please email Don Evans if you'd like to make a donation to the silent auction.
