BAPA Plans Big Night At The Vineyard

CHICAGO — Back by popular demand, the Beverly Area Planning Association’s Big Night party returns Saturday, Jan. 20, with music, dancing, spirits and food.

Big Night kicks off with music, dancing, hors d’oeuvres, and an open bar from 7 to 10 p.m., and a cash bar and pizza from 10 p.m. to midnight at The Vineyard, 2121 W. 95th St., Chicago.

Last year, BAPA’s Big Night celebrated the organization’s 75th anniversary, and the big night was such a big success, neighbors asked if BAPA could do it again.

This year, Big Night focuses on celebrating BAPA’s important work in Beverly/Morgan Park and on raising funds to keep that work going.

Fun and Games

Much of the fun at BAPA’s Big Night will be catching up with neighbors and friends, but for people who want to get in the swing of supporting BAPA, there will be a raffle and party games. Jon Dreznes of Beverly Records will keep the place rocking with a variety of dance tunes.
Big Night tickets are $100 per person in advance at bapa.org, or $125 at the door. Sponsorships are still being accepted; contact BAPA Executive Director Mary Jo Viero, 773-233-3100 or mjviero@bapa.org for information.

The Beverly Area Planning Association is one of Chicago’s oldest most successful grassroots civic organizations. The organization works to preserve and improve the Beverly Hills/Morgan Park neighborhood through proactive, effective programs and events that unify residents, institutions, and businesses.
