Women Networking in Our Community

Women Networking in Our Community

Joy. That was the theme for Thursday, November 5th.

Joie de Vivre means “joy of life” in French. Recently a mom and daughter opened Joie de Vivre, a shop in the Irving Austin area—6053 W. Irving Park Rd., 708.831.8332. joiedevivreboutique.com

On November 5th they generously opened their doors for a fundraiser benefiting Lydia Urban Academy (LUA). The Academy is an accredited, non-traditional high school that provides a safe, nurturing environment for students who may have experienced academic adversity in the past. LUA graduates earn a high-school diploma, not a GED (General Equivalency Diploma). It is a NW side neighbor at 4300 W. Irving Park Rd. (773) 653-2266 http://www.lydiahome.org/10086/ministry/ministry_id/51067/LYDIA-Urban-Academy-Chicago

The event was sponsored by Northwest Arts Connection (NAC) and Groszek Law Firm. Wine, cheese, and vegan cookies were served as women shopped and talked and laughed.

Shoppers enjoyed browsing jewelry, candles, and other fashion and home accessories at a variety of price points with friendly, helpful service by owners Rachel and Gwen Johnson.

Joy.
