University Series @ Iwan Ries Tuesday, March 18, 5:30-8:30

Join us for a lively discussion, slide show and book signing for Harold!  Photographs from the Harold Washington Years, featuring author Salim Muwakkil, photographers Antonio Dickey and Marc PoKempner, and editor Ron Dorfman. 

Presented in conjunction with the Harold Washington Commemorative Year, this Cigar Society event gives us a chance to remember Harold and analyze his legacy a quarter-century after his election, on April 12, 1983, as the first African-American mayor of Chicago. 

$30 (or $40 cash) includes premium open bar, light hors d'oeuvre, and special cigars.    RSVP to tuckey@post.com.

In 2008 the University Club Cigar Society will be meeting privately two Tuesdays a month from 5:30 to 8:30 PM in the new smoking lounge in the Iwan Ries Building, just around the corner from the University Club, at 19 South Wabash.  Events in the University Series include cocktails at 5:30pm, a lecture or reading starting at 6:00 sharp for about thirty minutes, with discussion and more cocktails to follow.  Smoking is permitted and encouraged at all times, and the topic of conversation will wander.  All members of the University Club and Tower Club are invited, and guests of members are always welcome.  Reservations are required.  Jacket and tie recommended.  If you are interested in becoming a member of the University Club Cigar Society and want to be included in our mailing list, write to the Secretary, Curtis Tuckey, at tuckey@post.com.
