Start the holidays with a housewalk Housewalk benefits Children's Clinic

By LACEY SIKORA

Contributing Reporter

he Infant Welfare Society of Oak Park and River Forest is celebrating 100 years of healthy kids in 2016, and its annual Holiday Housewalk kicks of the season with style. The Housewalk is the Infant Welfare Society’s biggest fundraiser of the year for its Children’s Clinic, a medical home for under and uninsured children. This year, five sets of homeowners along with the help of countless volunteers, aim to brighten your holiday season with the goal of providing medical care for children in need.

Sarina Butler, who is chairing the Housewalk for the IWS, notes that this year, she and the committee sought to do something different with the house selection. “This year, there is no big palace of a home, but we do have five really spectacular houses that are livable. Everyone can relate to these houses.”

She goes on to state why showcasing family homes is such an important part of the Holiday Housewalk. “In our area, we have a wonderful architectural heritage and a diverse heritage of the people who live here. We’re trying to touch various pieces of our heritage through the walk, and along with that comes the heritage of every family’s unique traditions. That’s why we all chose to live here, because we enjoy the differences in one another, and we respect that and celebrate it.”

The five house on the walk this year all on holiday traditions.

In River Forest, a Frank Lloyd Wrightinspired home brings the outdoors in with holiday decorations that celebrate the Prairie Style home built in the 1990’s.

SARINA BUTLER IWS Holiday Housewalk Chair. An Oak Park Colonial style home, with a brand new kitchen and family room addition includes family decorations for the owners’ three children, and family traditions from needlepointed stockings to a Santa collection. A Colonial Revival home with simple elegance, gold trees home is bedecked with thirty one years of family ornaments, two trees and a family heirloom nativity meticulously restored, and during the holiday season a star theme decorates the home as does the twelve to fourteen foot tree placed in the front window every year.

"We're trying to touch various pieces of our heritage through the walk, and along with that comes the heritage of every family's unique traditions."

Decking the halls for the holidays last December.

For Butler, the Holiday Housewalk brings meaning to the season because of the mission of the Infant Welfare Society. “The Children’s Clinic served about 3,500 children last year through over kids can go for dental, physical and mental health

services. That’s why we all do this. It’s for the kids.”

The Holiday Housewalk takes place Friday, December 2 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday, December 3 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets for the Holiday Housewalk and Market can be

purchased online at www.oprfiws.org or by calling 708.848.0528 extension 231. In person ticket outlets include Tulipia Floral Design in River Forest, and Careful Peach and Geppetto’s Toy Box at the door.

Shopping with benefits Infant Welfare Society Holiday Market mixes fun with charity

By LACEY SIKORA Contributing Reporter

W

hen the Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society hosts its annual Holiday Housewalk and Market the weekend of December 2 and 3, the party will get started with the accompanying Holiday Market, held at Oak Park’s Nineteenth Century Club.

The weekend is kicked off early, on Thursday December 1, for those who attend the Market’s Preview Party from 6 to 9:30 p.m. From the signature champagne cocktail to the live music, the Preview Party offers a festive atmosphere for everyone who wants to start the weekend with a bit of shopping.

Market Chair, Liz Robinson, says that for those looking to score a unique gift, the Preview Party is worth your while. “The Preview gives people a chance to get in early. A lot of our vendors are selling one-of-a-kind items, so once someone makes a purchase it is gone.”

On Friday, December 2 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturday, December 3 from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the market will be open to the general public for free. Robinson says this important change

makes the market more welcoming to the entire community and should benefit the IWS’s Children’s Clinic greatly.

"Shopping at the market is a great way to contribute to our Children's Clinic because our generous vendors donate 15% of every sale back to us to help us support it.”

Robinson says the juried market will offer something for everyone.

“Lexi Nielsen and her team have found artisans and vendors across multiple price points and a range of merchandise from hostess gifts to holidays outfits to business gifts" The Celebration Tablescapes were created by Nancy Van Der Griend and her committee, and the raffle winners receive a complete table setting. With themes running the gamut from Christmas to Bird of Paradise to Gentleman’s Table, the tablescapes include fine china and linens as well as table top decorations.

IWS volunteer Debbie Blanco is bringing back the Sugar Plum Café on Friday and Saturday.

Whether you’re coming straight from work and want to grab a to-go bag of food or want to take a break during the Housewalk and enjoy soup and sandwiches, the Sugar Plum café provides a place to hang out and rest your feet during the busy weekend.

Robinson acknowledges that it takes a lot of volunteers to set up and plan the market every year but that it is always worth it. “It’s a labor of love, but it is always such a fun weekend. At the end of the day, we think about all of the kids we are helping at the Children’s Clinic and how great a need there is in the community for the Clinic’s services.”

Tickets for the Holiday Market Preview Party on Thursday, December 1 are $15 and can be purchased at www.oprfiws.orf or by calling 708.848.0528 extension 231. On Friday, December 2 and Saturday, December 3, entry to the market is free.

“Not everyone wants to do the same thing, there are a lot of different goals.

We usually have all types of wood from mid-century to old growth. We might include wood previously used as hardwood floors or trim. We leave the hardware options open.”

Deleon says the workshops are open to people of all ages and skill levels, although any children must sign up with a parent. She says the workshop is a great way to learn or hone a skill while making something useful. “Maybe you haven’t used a drill or don’t understand sanding, but you will get to

work on that.”

At the end of the day, Deleon says the workshop is about re-using materials to create a unique piece. “People really get the pride of making something themselves.

It’s also really rewarding to see an item that you think may have lived its life, and be able to give it new life as something else.”
