Important dates- some happening tomorrow!!

From Lina Fritz- 

Please join us at Shoesmith's Arts Showcase Event this Wednesday, 5:30 - 8:00 PM at 1330 E. 50th Street.  There will be performances by Shoesmith Elementary's talented students and refreshments donated by Hyde Park restaurants.  This event will be in lieu of Arts in the Garden this year due to construction taking place at Shoesmith this summer.  I hope you will drop by to see some impressive student performances and sample a variety of appetizers.  Admission is only $5, kids 5 and under are free.  The money will go towards additional arts programming for the school.  Thanks for your support of our neighborhood school!

Chicago Urban League’s Workforce Development Department is excited to announce its annual Citywide Job Fair. The Job Fair is a collaborative event that will be held at the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC) Forum (725 W. Roosevelt Rd) on Wednesday, June 18, 2014 10:00-2:00pm. We are exactly two-weeks away from a life changing event.  We have a unique opportunity to connect African American job seekers to employment opportunities thus, helping to BUILD a BETTER CHICAGO.  We have confirmed nearly 50 employers and will host Professional Development Workshops each hour (with raffles provided by the sponsoring companies).

I have attached the final flyers for distribution.  Please share this information with your personal and professional networks. Employers will be hiring for a variety of positions ranging from entry-level to professional. Please let me know if you have any questions and/or are interested in volunteering on the day of the event.

Yours in the Movement,

Andrew J. Wells
