From 4:00 to 6:00 pm

At the home of Priscilla Barlow in Kenilworth

For many of us, our Dames affiliation is tied inextricably to a sense of place in American history. For future Dames, that sense of place will likely meld legacy with the vibrancy of today’s Illinois Society.   Your Membership Committee encourages everyone to join us in April!
