PUBLISHER LETTER
A NEW YEAR AND A DECADE OF PUBLISHING
We're at the end of an eventful year which has tested all of us. It's a great time to reflect on what really matters.
To make the point, in an exclusive interview, Julie Jonlich visits jazz great Ramsey Lewis and his wife, artist Jan Lewis. This super-talented couple talks about their exciting careers and what makes their lives together so special.
To put you in a holiday mood, consider the following: Brookfield Zoo is lighting up their wonderful park again this December with Holiday Magic and all kinds of activities to enjoy, including, of course, the animals themselves. If you love outdoor light displays, Morton Arboretum is another must-see.
For live, on-stage performance, take in legendary songwriter Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn at Drury Lane Theater. Or, head to downtown Chicago and watch the Nutcracker performed by the Joffrey Ballet at the Lyric Opera House. On New Year’s Eve, you could also listen to the New Philharmonic concert at the McAnnich Arts Center at the College of DuPage.
If you just want to get away this holiday season and New York is your destination, we have seven iconic hotels to choose from, depending on the part of town you are interested in. For the Upper East Side, try the Carlyle. If you are heading to Midtown, you have St. Regis. For the Flatiron District, stay at the NoMad. For SoHo, there is The Mercer, in Greenwich Village try The Marlton, and for Gramercy Park, look for the Gramercy Park Hotel. And, in Tribeca, you can stay at the Greenwich Hotel.
Since it is a season of giving, consider supporting worthy non-profits.
Our annual review gives you a good idea of how 16 organizations have helped those who need help. They are doing their part. This is a good time to do yours.
Changing things up a bit, we share a story of how an early Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home will be preserved in Hinsdale.
Remember to visit www. HinsdaleMag.com to reflect on 2021 with all the digital editions on-line. There you can comment and share the stories and suggest what you would like Hinsdale Magazine to cover in 2022. Thank you for making our first decade of publishing a success.
Happy Holidays!

WHY PATIENTS TRUST HINSDALE DENTISTRY AND DR. PETER HARNOIS FOR THEIR
SMILE MAKEOVERS
Hinsdale Dentistry transforms hundreds of smiles per year. Just why are so many patients choosing this practice for cosmetic dentistry? Because they know that Dr. Harnois is an esthetics expert—not just regionally, but internationally. Combine his authority with the top-tier technologies available at his practice, and the decision becomes crystal clear.
Hinsdale Dentistry has long been setting a standard for comfortable patient care, with the aid of multiple dental lasers and the iTero digital scanner for digital impressions. These tools provide more comfortable, precise and efficient treatment and give patients of all ages a new understanding of dental care. Whether Hinsdale Dentistry’s patients are children receiving fillings prepared with a water laser and no painful shots, adults prepping teeth for crowns or veneers, or anxious patients hoping to whiten their teeth without sensitivity or to avoid traditional impressions, the practice’s minimally invasive technologies revolutionize their experience.
Dr. Harnois’ mastery of these tools has led to him becoming a sought-out trainer for emerging dental technologies and techniques. He travels throughout North America teaching other doctors to provide similarly exceptional treatment, sharing his skills as a clinician and esthetics authority. DR. HARNOIS’ INTERNATIONAL LECTURING As a clinical trainer and lecturer for The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, and DenMat, the manufacturer of Lumineers, Dr. Harnois provides handson training and education to dental and medical professionals across the country. He shares his philosophy that ? every patient deserves the most gentle and minimally invasive cosmetic and metal-free dental treatments with natural results, and enables other dentists to elevate their patient care.
THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY (AACD)
Dr. Harnois is a 10-year member of the AACD, which is considered the highest body of knowledge of esthetic dentistry. He is also one of the main presenters at their annual educational symposium each year.
THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF FACIAL ESTHETICS (AAFE)
Dr. Harnois is the President of the Illinois American Academy of Facial Esthetics and trains dentists in Botox and dermal filler techniques. He is a nationally recognized leader in minimally invasive total facial esthetic techniques. Dr. Harnois has instructed thousands of healthcare professionals through both lecture and hands-on courses and is an outstanding instructor who is known for his coherent and interactive style.
DENMAT, LUMINEERS MANUFACTURER
Dr. Harnois partners with DenMat to train other dentists in minimally invasive esthetics. He provides hands-on preparation and placement of minimally invasive, ultra-thin, highly esthetic veneers, and educates other dentists on smile design and case consultation and evaluation. He has also authored their educational platforms for the last four years.
As an educational leader for current dental technologies and minimally invasive procedures, Dr. Harnois is able to truly transcend and provide patients with unparalleled dental care. If you’re interested in learning more about a noninvasive smile makeover or full mouth rehabilitation, reach out today to schedule a complimentary consultation.
