CEL's Chefs' Night is a Foodies Delight!

Nearly 700 people will make their way to the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort on Monday, May 2nd for a tasting event of epic proportions! Local restaurants, wineries, breweries, bakeries and more will be on hand serving their signature dishes and cocktails benefitting the Center for Enriched Living (CEL), a non-profit organization in Riverwoods that provides social, recreational and enrichment opportunities for people with developmental disabilities.
