Tell Me About This Month's Event
For this edition of Meet Me For Lunch, we head to the Oak Park Arts District for lunch at Publican Quality Bread! Publican is renowned for its fresh, tasty fare built around their legendary baked goods.
Where Are We Meeting?
We will gather at Publican Quality Bread in the Oak Park Arts District - event menu is forthcoming! And we will be treated to a conversation with Laura Maychruk, owner of Laura Maychruk Real Estate and the much-missed Buzz Cafe, and dynamo behind building and sustaining the Arts District. Laura will share with us some of the district's history, as well as what's happening now!
