Dear Cigar Society Members:
Much to the dismay of many of you, we
haven't convened any Cigar Society
events at all—either online or
in-person—since the end of May.
Your
loyal secretary (that's me) and the
board are working on this, and we
are in the process of putting together
some hybrid events for the rest of the
summer in Chicago:
☞ in-person and online,
with our usual lecture/discussion format,
at one of the downtown clubs with outdoor
space;
☞ in-person with informal
conversation at one of the two or three
places downtown that still permit us to
smoke cigars;
☞ informal drop-in
video conferences through Zoom on Tuesdays
when nothing else is scheduled. I'll let
you know more about this later in the
week.
Coming to the rescue in the meantime, and in addition to these efforts,
longtime Cigar Society member Mary
Beth Rebedeau has invited our
members to a garden party and fundraiser
for the Friendship
Botanic Gardens in La Porte, Indiana
(14 miles directly south of New Buffalo)
this coming Saturday. Make your
reservations directly through any of the
links below. Mary Beth writes,
Join the Friendship Botanic
Gardens members and directors for our annual
fundraising gala, held at
board president John Leinweber's Firefly
Farm in La Porte on Saturday, July 17,
2021 from 6-11 p.m and party with your
posse! Cowboy welcome begins at 5 p.m.
Our event this year will be unlike
anything you’ve experienced before—you
won’t want to miss it!
Tickets include an over-the-top
Western steak dinner and dessert buffet,
cigar and bourbon lounge
sponsored by Journeyman Distillery,
musical entertainment by Johnny V and Al
Joseph, as well as Amplified Sounds DJ,
and line dancing. You’ll also want to
join us in welcoming our featured and
honored guest speaker, Mayor of La
Porte, Tom Dermody!
Tickets are $125/person and are available
for purchase until Thursday, July
15th.
