SUMMARY:Mid-Century Modernism: A Personal Journey
DESCRIPTION:Join Joseph Madda as he explores Mid-century Modernism and design via his personal journey through this intriguing period and style.\nAfter depression and World War II\, America emerged the dominant nation.  Unparalleled growth and prosperity followed for a burgeoning middle class\, unprecedented in size.  Veterans on the GI bill went to college\, married sweethearts\, moved to new suburbs\, and birthed lots of babies.  The late 1940’s\, 50’s\, and early 60’s were about abundance\, conformity\, and gradual pushback.  As the 60’s progressed\, this monolith fractured.  The epoch ended in Vietnam\, 70’s oil-supply shocks\, and stagflation. \nA bona fide Baby Boomer\, architect\, art commentator\, and author Joseph Madda lived through these times\, including owning and living in four different Mid-Century Modern homes in Los Angeles and Chicago for over forty years.  Join Joe as he explores Mid-century Modernism and design via his personal journey through this intriguing period and style. \n

SUMMARY:Annual Holiday Tea
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 30th–Annual Holiday Tea \nAfternoon tea is part of The Cliff Dweller’s history and a lovely seasonal treat. Come and enjoy this midday refreshment\, complete with scones\, small cakes\, assorted sweets\, savory finger sandwiches and fine tea. Engage in warm and lively conversation with fellow members and friends over a special cocktail. And thrill at a poem created exclusively for you! \n  \nPoems While You Wait is a collective of poets that bring in their vintage typewriters and produce poetry on demand. Three poets from the collective will engage with with us and\, in a short time\, create a poem for each of us. \nHere’s how it works: Upon entering the Club\, you will give your name to the poets and provide a “topic” for the poem you would like a poet to write. \n(The topic may be specific or abstract\, with as much or as little information as you choose. No topic is too big or too small\, too funny or too sad\, too silly or too serious). While you sip your tea\, the magic will happen. At the close of the event you will be presented with a custom-made\, one-of-a-kind poem to keep for yourself or to give away as a gift! \nMore fun: \nGifted vocalist Jamie O’ Reilly will delight us with her musical stylings. And\, our own Ed Torrez (CD’ 17) brings even more cheer as we gather around the piano to sing old familiar songs. \n2:30pm-Bar Opens \n3pm-Buffet ($36) \nReservations are required: \nreservations@cliff-chicago.org  \nor call 312-922-8080 \nReservations are requested by November 28th
