See and Ski
Dan Ryan Woods
The Beverly Improvement Association
in connection with Ald. Matt O’Shea and
the Cook County Forest Preserve District
invites area residents to enjoy skiing
in the Dan Ryan’s Woods on Sunday
afternoons when there is sufficient snow
to ski, about 4 inches on the ground.
There is no charge for this event. The
woods are absolutely gorgeous in winter,
so even if you do not want to ski, come
and walk the woods and see what a great
treasure we have in our own backyard
Participants should meet at 1 p.m.,
Beverly Bike and Ski, 9121 S. Western
Ave. Paul Weise, the owner, will have
hot chocolate ready to take the chill
out of the air. You do not have to be an
experienced cross country skier to join in
the fun. Cross-country skis, boots, and
poles right can be rented from Beverly
Bike and Ski for $15 for the day and
$25 for the weekend. Snowshoes are
available at the same prices.
Remember if you can walk, you can
cross country ski. Don’t spend the winter cooped up with
cabin fever. Get out, enjoy yourself and
bring your friends.
Music, Dancing & More at the Snowflake Ball
It’s a chance to come out of hibernation and see all your
friends.
It’s a great excuse to take advantage of those January sales
and buy a new dress.
Your babysitter has already spent all his or her Christmas
cash, and is looking for jobs to replenish the funds.
You just can’t wait until Valentine’s Day for a really great date
night.
It’s time for a new strip of photobooth pictures for the fridge.
You LOVE to DANCE!
You went last year, had a terrific time, and just can’t wait until
January 25!
Whatever your reason for attending, the Snowflake Ball will be
the don’t-miss mid-winter party, held Sat., Jan. 25, 7:30 p.m. at
Beverly Country Club, 87th and Western.
Just like the original ball, which started in the 1970s, the
Snowflake Ball is an all-community party. Better than the
original, the new Snowflake Ball ticket price includes open bar,
breathtaking views of the moonlit golf course, a ballroom, and
lots more.
This year, three rooms will be open, and two will feature live
bands: The Rendition performing dance music, and the Robin
Watson Jazz Combo.
Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and sweets will be served, and
guests will be welcome to smile for the camera in the photobooth
for a Snowflake Ball souvenir.

Dr. Carlin Inducted Into Senior Hall of Fame
By Kristin Boza
Dr. Philip M. Carlin, recently inducted
into the Illinois Senior Hall of Fame in
the Education category, dedicated his life
to his students. Although now retired,
Carlin continues to be a vibrant, central
figure in Beverly/Morgan Park through
his love of volunteering and continuing
to educate those around him.
On Oct. 23, Carlin was officially
inducted into the Senior Hall of Fame at
the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield.
Awarded with a certificate by Rep.
Monique Davis on behalf of the 98th
General Assembly, Carlin was recognized
for his accomplishments in bettering his
community through education.
According to the Department of Aging,
the Senior Hall of Fame was created in
1994 to honor Illinois residents over the
age of 65 who excel in the categories
of community service, education,
performance/graphic arts, and the labor
Dr. Philip M. Carlin
force. Each inductee is nominated and
selected through a statewide process.
When Carlin received the call from
the Illinois Department on Aging
representative who told him he would be
inducted into the Senior Hall of Fame,
he expressed amazement and initial
disbelief that he would be chosen for
such a prestigious honor.
After graduating from St. Ignatius
College Prep and finishing his first year
at Loyola University, Carlin joined the
Navy during World War II. He completed
two years of service, then returned home
to Chicago and resumed his studies at
Loyola on the GI Bill, earning a Bachelor
of Science degree in Education in 1951.
Two years later, Carlin added a Master of
Science in Education. By 1966, Carlin
earned a Doctorate in Education, his
third degree from Loyola University.
Carlin spent 23 years in Chicago
Public Schools, working as a teacher, an
assistant principal and a principal. His
first teaching assignment was at Bowen
High School teaching English and Latin.

Village Viewpoint
By Matt Walsh, BAPA Executive Director
It’s worth repeating.
Regular readers of The Villager and
of this column will have noticed that
BAPA places a strong emphasis on
shopping locally. The Deals of the Day
(which we created with the Morgan Park/
Beverly Hills and the 95th Street Business
Associations and which now includes
the Mount Greenwood Community
and Business Association) is designed
to alert our neighbors to the shopping
possibilities right here at home. The
Shop The Village campaign, noticeable
in signage at local businesses, on our
reusable shopping bags and through our
Facebook posts, serves as a reminder to
make your purchases where they benefit
you the most. We often list the statistics
that show money spent at family owned
businesses stays in the community.
That money spent at a national retailer
does so at a much lower level. And that
money spent online does not benefit our
neighborhood at all.
Articles on that store just down the street
can often be found in these pages. The
Villager ran a series of snapshots called
“Shop Hopping” that showed patrons
enjoying the fare at stores and restaurants
throughout the neighborhood. And every
Thursday the BAPA staff buys its lunch
at one of our local dining establishments.

It’s just one way we try to put our money
where our mouth is.
But it’s worth repeating that the way to
keep good businesses here is to support
them with our dollars. And this is an
especially important time to show your
shopping loyalty.
If you go to 91st and Western, or drive
west on 95th, you will see that our local
merchants have stiff competition. And it
may be tempting to try shopping at the
new store down the street where you
might save a dollar or two. But we ask
you to think before you do that. Consider
more than just the price of an item, but
also the real value you get when you
support our small businesses.
Try to remember who it was that
sponsored your kid’s baseball team.
Think back to what store donated the
apples to runners at the Ridge Run and
what bank donated the water. Consider
which liquor merchant has been an
anchor on the corner for years and who
always says ‘yes’ when asked to support
community events. Take into account
what the street would look like if the
florist closed, or the bike shop wasn’t
there. Remember which garage has been
giving your car affordable and reliable
‘The way to keep good
businesses here is to
support them with
our dollars.’
service for years and at a location within
walking distance of your house. Shop at
the bakery where you always see a friend,
the sandwich shop where they know you
by name, the specialty store where you
can always get that hard-to-find item.
Don’t forget our newer businesses where
you can buy handmade candy, craft
brews or fashionable accessories. And
I would be remiss if I did not mention
the professionals who provide quality
legal, medical, real estate, financial and
insurance services, to name a few. The
list goes on and on as do the benefits we
get when these businesses are thriving.
Yes, Beverly Hills/Morgan Park has
many quality businesses that you can
choose from. Shopping locally keeps
them profitable. It strengthens our
community, raises our home values and
encourages other businesses to open.
You’ve heard us say it time and time
again. But it’s worth repeating.
Show Us Your Shirt!
Do you have a Ridge Run shirt that’s 10, 20, 30 years old or older?
Has your favorite Ridge Run shirt been around the world, or even around an interesting
corner?

BAPA Awards Furlongs for Community Service
By Kristin Boza
You may not actually see Joe and Mary Ann Furlong volunteering within the Beverly/Morgan Park
community, but you have definitely been affected by their great efforts. The Furlongs were recently
awarded BAPA’s Community Service Award to honor them for their contributions to BAPA, the Beverly
Arts Center (BAC) and the community.
Mary Ann, a retired Chicago police officer, and Joe, a retired Chicago firefighter, have lived in Beverly/
Morgan Park for the last 40 years. Both are incredibly humble about their volunteering efforts, but without
them, some of the events the community has come to love would be difficult to execute.
Last year, Mary Ann was asked to be the volunteer coordinator for the Ridge Run, the annual 10k run and
5k walk/run held on Memorial Day. The run is known as one of the friendliest races due to the thousands
of neighbors who line the route to motivate the runners. The race relies on hundreds of neighborhood
volunteers to make it successful, so it’s no small feat ofor Mary Ann to coordinate all of those people. Joe
also assists with the Ridge Run, setting up barricades and water station tables, which are essential to the
race’s success, although he tries to downplay his importance.
In the past, Mary Ann has also volunteered for BAPA’s Home Tour and History Mystery Bike Tour.
Mary Ann is also essential to the BAC, helping the accounting department with filing, stuffing envelopes,
and other needed office work to keep the records straight. If that wasn’t enough, Mary Ann also spends a
lot of time at Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens in Palos Heights working as a docent,
which includes answering phones and signing people up for classes at the center.
The Furlongs love their community and enjoy giving their time and money to help out.

Wishing You a Healthy New Year
Following on the heels of the excesses
of the holidays, January is traditionally
a time when people begin to think more
about their health and fitness. In Beverly/
Morgan Park, there are a variety of places
where you can go to get healthy. A few of
them have shared some information and
tips for getting and staying healthy in
2014.
Beverly Yoga Center, 1917
W. 103rd St., is a warm, welcoming yoga
studio that focuses on calming minds
and nurturing bodies through yoga and
meditation for children and adults. They
offer daily classes as well as workshops
and retreats.
The menu of classes offers something for
everyone, and at every level of flexibility
or strength. Flow and Hot classes are
geared to those who want something more
active. Hatha, Relaxation, Therapeutic
and Candlelight classes focus more on
stretching and relaxation.
Four-week Introduction to Yoga
sessions, classes specific to larger bodies,
and a six-week Introduction to Meditation

“Nurturing the mind, body and heart, and
inspiring a healthy, mindful life through

Just ask Dr. Collins!
Never Too Late!
Okay, here we are in January and now
it’s time to get serious about our physical
health. Perhaps you plan to start walking
or doing some form of cardio and toning.
Well, before you get started, stand in front
of the mirror (body exposed) and take a
look at your alignment. Are the arches of
your feet lifted or dropped (flat feet)? Do
your knees roll in or out? Are your legs and
feet turned in or out? Turn sideways. Are
your shoulders behind or in front of your
hips? The position of your feet can dictate
the position of not just of your legs, but
your hips, spine, neck, shoulders and head.
Over a period of time everything starts to
shift to accommodate your foot position.
Then you begin to blame the pain in your
joints on arthritis and age. This may play
a part, but the continual stress that is put
on our joints due to poor alignment plays
a bigger part. As a matter of fact, that poor
alignment is a red carpet for arthritis to
come strutting in! These areas, if corrected
through strengthening and/or stretching,
would greatly improve your postural alignment, which would take years off your appearance. Need help to get started? We’ll
be glad to set you straight! Give us a call!

Therapy & Wellness Center,

features to their Holistic Healing
Approach: a warm and friendly
environment; physical therapy for
pain and injuries treated by a doctor of
physical therapy; and clients who reach
their fitness goals and trust our proven
expertise. Tina Morocco-Collins,
Doctor of Physical Therapy, incorporates
massage, yoga, Pilates equipment and
more in clinical intervention.
Dr. Collins offers this fitness tip: When
beginning a new exercise regimen
muscle soreness is often experienced.
Don’t shy away from the exercise as a
result of this. The most important thing
is to stretch those sore muscles, (even if
it feels very uncomfortable). A gentle
stretch combined with gentle massage
will be very beneficial. Moist heat is
also good for 10 to 15 minutes. Those
muscles have to get accustomed to your
new workout. Most importantly, be
consistent. Once you begin your routine,
keep it up, otherwise you will experience
the soreness all over again.

Beverly Therapists, 10725 S.
Western, is a group of psychotherapists
in private practice, working together
to help people find the right therapist
for themselves and their families.
Counseling can address many issues
including anxiety, depression, school
problems and grief, or it can simply
provide a confidential listening ear to
allow clients to sort out their thoughts
and find solutions.
According to the counselors at Beverly
Therapists, research has found that
exercise is an excellent way to improve
your mental health. Exercise reduces
stress, increases happiness through
the release of endorphins, improves
self-esteem, and reduces anxiety and
depression. They offer this fitness tip:
Walking or other activities that alternate
movement of one side of the body and
then the other help to clear our thoughts
and improve our moods. If you are having
trouble beginning an exercise program,
start small with a walk to the corner or
for 5 to 10 minutes. Sometimes, once you
start, it’s easy to continue.

use Curves’ strength training machines
in conjunction with Jillian Michaels’
bodyweight-based exercises to ramp up
your metabolism and transform your
physique. The program will be refreshed
with 12 new functional moves each
month. This new program along with the
Curves Complete weight loss plan, which
includes custom food plans and weekly
one on one coaching sessions, will make
this the year to achieve your fitness goals.
Sandie Maddux, owner/manager of
Curves Beverly, offers this fitness tip:
Keeping a food diary either online or
in a journal, can help you keep track of
your weight-loss goals. Some research
has shown that those who keep a food
journal lose up to twice as much weight.
Recording your food intake can also help
you think twice about that extra serving
of mashed potatoes at dinner. Be sure to
enter your food intake online right after a
meal or event.
For more information and a consultation
call Curves Beverly 773-239-4801 or go

Dr. Tracey L. Gaston, P.C.,
General Family Dentistry,
9901 S. Western Ave., Suite 209, stresses
the importance of regular dental visits for
your health.
The American Dental Association
recommends regular dental visits every
six months. This is essential for the
maintenance of healthy teeth and gums.
During the examination, teeth will be
checked for decay, gums evaluated for
periodontal disease and an oral cancer
screening performed. Digital x-rays will
be taken as well as your occlusion and
TMJ evaluated.
During the cleaning plaque and tartar are
removed, and your teeth are polished.
Natural teeth and restorations survive
best in an oral environment that is clean
and where the intake of harmful foods and
beverages is controlled. Maintaining good
homecare between your regular visits is
important.
Once the examination and cleaning
have been performed, recommendations
will be made regarding any restorative or
periodontal treatment that may be needed.

Community Choir Seeks New Members
By Janelle Richmond
Like to sing? The Beverly Morgan
Park Community Choir is seeking new
members for the 2014 season.

the new millennium, has offered praise in
song each year since.
Sponsored by the Beverly Morgan Park

professional director, Lance Loiselle, and
an outstandingly talented accompanist,
William Crowle. Each year, weeks of
dedicated rehearsals culminate in a
glorious concert. The 2014 concert is
slated for Apr. 6 at St. Cajetan Church.
Choir members generously volunteer
their time because they enjoy singing with
a community of people who love music.
Loiselle, the Choir’s Director, said, “It

School Profile: St. Cajetan
By Kristin Boza
St. Cajetan School is working toward
a complete technology makeover. With
an already robust technology suite in
use, the school is incredibly focused on
ensuring that technology is at the top of
their list of goals.
In her eighth year as principal at St.
Cajetan, Terry Reger is proud that the
school was able to secure the funds to
purchase iPads and SmartBoards for all
classrooms.
“The technology makes our classes a
lot more interactive,” Reger said. “The
teachers received training on how to best
implement the new technology over the
summer, and now they’re incorporating
what they learned into their lesson plans.”
Every student, from preschool through
eighth grade, is able to take advantage of
the new technology. Curious as to how
the preschoolers would react to the iPads,
the teachers and Reger let them explore
on their own before directing them with
a lesson.
“A couple of them figured out how to
turn it on [without instruction], then the
teacher began directing them to the apps
that are geared toward them, and they
were off. That was it!”
Although iPads and computer programs
can be a fun distraction for the children
at St. Cajetan, they will not be used that
way in the classroom.
“Teachers will be setting up learning
centers in the rooms where students
can engage with the iPads,” said Reger.
“They will be used as an individual tool.”
For example, students who know how
to read will use the iPads to test their
reading comprehension. “It’s good
individualized practice,” Reger said.
Older students will use the iPads to
assist in frog dissection, creating an even
more hands on approach than what was
seen in the past.
“The best part about the iPads is that
they can be used in every class, not just
math and science,” said Reger. “Each
student will be able to learn from the
iPad in an individual and hands-on type
of way.”
St. Cajetan Principal Terry Reger
The SmartBoards are installed in each
classroom at St. Cajetan, revolutionizing
teaching. “The smartboards allow for
a lot of interaction. Children can get
up, move, touch and interact with the
boards,” Reger said.
Despite the great technological
advances at St. Cajetan, small classes and
affordable tuition, the single thing that
really sets it apart is the incredibly closeknit community of parents and teachers
at the school.
“The parents are so supportive of each
other, in good times and in bad,” said
Reger. “I believe that faculty and parents
should work together to educate, and I
see that all the time at St. Cajetan. We’re
all a team, and I think that sends a strong
message to our children: we’re all in this
together to help you.”
Mike Geraghty is a member of St.
Cajetan’s School Board, and also the
father of four daughters who attend the
school. Like Reger, Geraghty cites the St.
Cajetan community as one of the reasons
in his family’s decision to send their
daughters to the school.
“The people of the parish are just
awesome,” Geraghty said. “It’s great to
be a part of such a tight-knit group of
parents who share the same values as
us. We’ve developed some really great
friendships, which benefits the parents,
but also the kids, too. If a family needs
anything in particular, the St. Cajetan
community rallies around them and helps
them as much as possible.”
“The education the students receive
at St. Cajetan is great,” said Geraghty.
“Having a 20:1 student to teacher ratio
is wonderful and it’s great to see the kids
who go on to do great things in our local
high schools. St. Cajetan really creates a
great foundation for the kids.”
Reger says that St. Cajetan is focused
on implementing the Common Core
program into their reading and math
programs, and increasing enrollment.
“We are working on strategies to have
more students here to enjoy the greatness
of our school, as well as constantly
improving our technology offerings,”
she said.
Besides the education in the classroom,
St. Cajetan boasts a robust sports program,
including football, cheerleading, soccer,
volleyball, basketball and golf.
Upcoming Events
Upcoming fundraisers, which will help
fund the technology program, include
a Trivia Night on Sat., Feb. 1 at 7 p.m.
in the school gym. A Wine Tasting, with
Town Liquors bringing in vendors, will
take place in May. For all interested
parents, St. Cajetan is hosting an open
house on Sun., Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. to
noon. St. Cajetan is located at 2477 W.
112th St. For more information on any
of these activities, call 773-233-8844 or

Baffes Family Gift Kicks Off BAC Challenge
The Beverly Arts Center officially
kicked off the BAC Challenge fund
raising campaign on Dec. 4 at a program
that featured the presentation of a
$125,000 gift from the Baffes Family
of County Fair. The gift from the Baffes
family puts the center well on its way to
meeting its goal of raising more than $2
million in one year. The Baffes family
is celebrating 50 years of serving area
communities with the finest in selection
and service at County Fair
The BAC program included Laurel
Harris of the Broadway in Chicago cast of
“Wicked” performing “The Wizard and I”
for an audience of more than 350 guests.
Speakers Barbara O’Malley, BAC Board
President, Andrea Zopp, new BAC Board
Member, and Mike Stanton, co-chair of
the BAC Challenge Committee, updated
the status of the campaign, introduced an
expanded challenge designed to retire the
BAC’s entire mortgage debt, and explain
the ways in which the community can help.
Individual donors continue to support
the BAC Challenge at all levels. Local
businesses are supporting the Challenge
with fund raisers, including KFC, Home
Run Inn, Top Notch, Kean Gas Station
and Waldo Cooney’s, all of which
held events between Dec. 1 and Jan. 1.

You might be iron-deficient!
The body uses dietary iron to transport vital
oxygen to all its tissues. However, many people,
especially women, children, elderly people and
athletes, do not get enough iron to satisfy their
needs. Are you finding it difficult to get through
the day?
More common than you might think …
Did you know that one woman in four is iron-deficient? Iron deficiency can make you feel faint, tired
and irritable, and make it difficult to concentrate.
Other signs that your body’s iron levels are too low
include: dark circles under the eyes, headaches, pale
skin and an increased need for sleep.
Lack of iron is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. There are varying degrees of
iron deficiency – and you may not even be aware
that your iron is low. Elderly people, athletes,
pregnant and nursing women, and vegetarians may
have an increased need for iron supplementation.
Iron is essential
Since your body cannot produce iron by itself, you
have to get it from your daily diet. Most of your iron
goes to making hemoglobin – the coloring substance
of red blood cells. Iron is essential for the transportation of oxygen in the body. It’s almost impossible to
get enough iron from your daily diet to ensure the
proper functioning of your body … Do you eat
15 cups of broccoli, 18 eggs or generous portions of
liver and kidneys each week in order to get all the
iron your body needs? Probably not!
BEVERLY HILLS ANIMAL HOSPITAL
The natural solution!
Floradix, a plant-based liquid iron supplement, may
help to improve your iron levels. Floradix is easily
absorbed by the body, has no harmful effects on the
digestive tract and offers positive results. Made from
highly soluble iron gluconate, as well as whole foods
and co-factor vitamins, Floradix is highly absorbable
and quickly replenishes iron levels, which helps to
restore energy! Today, Floradix is highly recommended by health care professionals because it is
clinically proven to normalize low iron levels and
is non-constipating as well.
Floradix users find that it reduces fatigue and stress;
and many have also reported that it has improved
their general quality of life. Trust Floradix, North
America’s most recommended iron supplement! •

A Modern Look at a Classic Play
“The Glass Menagerie” is the play that brought Tennessee Williams from obscurity to
his role as one of America’s most highly regarded playwrights. In February, the Beverly
Theatre Guild (BTG) will present the play with a bold and innovative treatment by
director Rocco Ayala. Original music, contemporary projections and a skeletal set will
embrace the characters and story telling. Ayala, from Chicago’s West Lawn, also directs
productions at Brother Rice High School and has a degree in Digital Cinema from
DePaul.
The cast is usually made up of characters based on Tennessee Williams’ family.
Amanda, the mother, was abandoned by her husband and lives under hard financial
conditions; her son Tom, who supports the family as he struggles to write; and daughter
,Laura, who has created a world of her own by her collection of glass figures. The last
character is Jim, the gentleman caller, who Amanda has been hoping would come for
her daughter.
BTG’s director Anyala has added another character: a narrator who is Tom, 15 years
after the story takes place and at the height of his career as a playwright and poet.
Narrator Tom reflects on his past and invites the audience to step into his memory. This
part will be performed by Fred Eberle, a life long neighborhood resident.
Eberle has many professional credits, one most memorable as a member of the original
cast of “Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?” A young thespian, Eberle
interviewed Tennessee Williams on National Public Radio (NPR). The interview was
conducted at the old Goodman Theatre where an evening of one-act plays entitled
“Tennessee Laughs” was in rehearsal. According to Eberle, Williams was a fascinating
and complex person who graciously spent a full hour chatting while sipping wine from a
paper cup. While working as an artist in residence at WBEZ, Eberle used this interview
in a radio program called “Tennessee Williams, A Reflection.”
Ayala is passionate about this project since “The Glass Menagerie” is a timeless piece.
The story and characters that were written in the 1940s still hold true today.
BTG will stage “The Glass Menagerie” Feb, 14, 15 and 16 at the Baer Theatre, Morgan
Park Academy, 2153 W 111th St. For more information about reserved tickets and group
sales, visit www.BeverlyTheatreGuild.org or call 773-284-8497.

He soon became the first principal of
John T. Pirie Elementary School, which
was notable for two reasons: It was the
first air conditioned school in Chicago,
and it used the team-teaching model of
instruction, which Carlin studied indepth thanks to a scholarship from CPS
to attend the Harvard Graduate School of
Education.
In 1974, Carlin became a full tenure
associate professor with Loyola
University’s Educational Leadership
and Policy Studies program teaching
Educational Leadership. He held that
position until 1999, when he became
Professor Emeritus.
According to his daughter, Carrie Carlin
O’Donnell, Carlin will never officially
retire; he’s got too much to do. “He
continues to advise, sit in on classes, and
preside over alumni functions,” she said.
In the 1990s, Carlin developed a course
in Educational Leadership in Rome, Italy
for the Loyola Rome Center Summer
Program. He took students on a journey
of “Caesar’s Legacy,” teaching classical
models of leadership by following in
the footsteps of Caesar. The program
was popular among his students and ran
for four summers. Carlin also spoke at
seminars across the United States on the
topic of Educational Leadership.
Carlin refuses to sit still. Now in his
mid-80s, Carlin is an accomplished actor
and guides history boat tours on Lake
Michigan. He formed the Smith Village
Players Theater Group at Smith Village.
Carlin has also been a pillar in the
community, serving on the initial Local
School Council, acting as a tour guide
for BAPA’s home tour, marching as
the Grand Marshall of the 2013 BAPA
Memorial Day Parade, taking weekly
guitar lessons at the Beverly Arts Center,
acting as an usher at St. Cajetan Church,
and volunteering for a Northwestern
University Long-Term Aging Study by
submitting to yearly exams for the last 18
years. Currently, Carlin is in rehearsal for
a new Variety Show geared toward senior
centers.
His favorite part about being a resident
of Beverly/Morgan Park is the social
energy of the community. He is proud
of the neighborhood’s “vibrant social
institutions, churches, schools and
businesses,” he said.
Carlin has resided in the community
since 1966, and became one of the first
ten residents of Smith Village when it
opened in 2007. His daughter, Cathi
Hogan, and her husband, Tom, live in
Beverly/Morgan Park as well, and have
raised two sons here. The family is proud
of its community, and Carlin’s daughters
are especially proud of the great
accomplishments of their father. This
community is lucky to have a strong,
long-lasting contributing community
member such as Dr. Carlin.

Lively Event Raises Hard-Working Funds for BAC
For more than four decades community
volunteers have been planning and
presenting the annual Beverly Arts
Center auction. Although a lot has
changed in that time, one thing has not:
the commitment of these volunteers to
raising much-needed funds for the BAC.
“Forty three years ago when the auction
began, no one was doing auctions,”
said BAC Auction committee member,
Carol Lett. The early auctions were
THE community events – very formal
and involved. “The longevity of our
auction is in how it has changed over the
years. Since moving to the new BAC,
the auctions are less formal and more
fun, and we’ve found creative ways to
involve artists and the community.”
For a few years, artists created and
donated works to be auctioned, such as
chairs, boxes and mirrors. In the past few
years, the auction has been built more
around experience packages, and the
committee has invested in professional
auctioneers who bring expert ideas to the
mix. And the members of the committee
listen when people talk about what they’d
like to see being auctioned from the BAC
stage on Sat., Feb. 15.
Conversation-starter cards at the Girls
Night Out pre-auction party offered a
glimpse into the attendees’ wish-lists.
“People really like the experience
packages,” said committee member
Betsy Spolarich. “A weekend downtown,

hot sports tickets, a vacation getaway.”
These items make the bidding brisk,
with several people raising their numbers
to try and walk away with the prized
package.
As fun and lively as the live auction
is, the needs it funds are not so sexy,

Campbell. “The auction raises funds
needed to keep the building maintained,”
she said. “One year the funds bought new
windows, one year, a new dance floor,
one year, sound equipment for the theater.
These are things that are not covered by
grants and are very expensive to pay for
out of revenue. The BAC counts on the
auction to raise the money for these very
important, behind-the-scenes items. And
people really enjoy supporting the BAC
through the auction because it’s such a
great party!”
This year, the fun has already started with
the “selfie” campaign that’s integrated
into the Amplify the Arts auction theme.
Colorful posters with the Amplify the
Arts auction logo can be found all over
the community. People are standing
with their heads positioned inside the
headphones, taking “selfies” and sending
them to [email protected]
so they can be shared.
The Amplify the Arts theme is carried
through in the auction tech raffle. Raffle
tickets are available now for $20 or
six for $100. People need not be at the
auction to win the prizes, which include
a 46 inch flat screen television, Beats by
Dre headphones, and an iPad.
Because the Center is in the midst of a
major fund raising campaign, all of the
proceeds from auction ticket sales will
be donated to the BAC Challenge so
the Center can benefit from the $4-to-$1
match from Fifth Third Bank.
The auction committee already has
some terrific items for the live and silent
auctions, and more is being collected.
Details will be announced later.
Individuals and businesses interested in
participating in the auction can buy tickets
for $50 each, make donations, and/or
become a sponsor. For more information,
email [email protected].
Tickets can be purchased online at www.
beverlyartcenter.org.
Call for Fitness Partners:
Work Out to Wipe Out Domestic Violence
The Morgan Park Junior Woman’s
Club invites local fitness professionals
to partner in the 3rd Annual Work Out

about the issue of domestic violence
and raises funds for the local advocacy

locations. Area residents will participate,
each making a donation. Proceeds go
directly to AND.
The Morgan Park Junior Woman’s Club
organizes this event and is asking for
partnership from fitness businesses and

arts,
Pilates,
personal
martial
trainers, dance and yoga studios, physical
therapists, tennis, biking, walking,
running and swimming clubs all around
the community.
For more information on becoming
a Work Out to Wipe Out Domestic
Violence benefit partner,
email
[email protected] or call
Jean Catania, 773-239-2632.
Partners of the 2nd Annual Work Out
to Wipe Out Domestic Violence benefit
day included Beverly Arts Center,
Beverly Body Works, Beverly Ride-On,
Beverly Yoga Studio, Core Fitness and
Physical Therapy, Cross Fit Beverly,
Curves of Beverly, Evergreen Racquet

Golf Shop, Natural Instincts Physical
Therapy and Wellness Center, Running

Xavier University, Women’s Workout

A New Direction Beverly Morgan
Park is a non-profit 501-(c)-3 agency
that provides counseling and advocacy
services to domestic violence victims.
It was conceived and is directed by
community members with a strong
commitment to its mission. AND is
funded entirely through donations and
relies on community support to continue
its mission.

“I can’t stress enough how important
BAPA is to our community,” said Mary
Ann. “I think a lot of the community
members think, ‘Oh, BAPA puts on great
special events,’ but it’s so much more
than that. BAPA funds a lot of different
programs [through those special events]
that support the neighborhood.”
She cited BAPA’s court advocacy
programs, foreclosure assistance and
police alerts as some of the great
programs they provide the community.
“To the community, it’s vital that we
have an agency like BAPA,” Mary Ann
said. “We have to support it through
donations and volunteering.”
Mary Ann feels that the BAC is equally
important to the Beverly/Morgan Park
community, but in a different way than
BAPA.
“The BAC serves an important function
within the arts: classes for adults and
kids, great performances. We’re hoping
the BAC Challenge will help bring down
the BAC’s debt so that we can continue
to have these things in our community,”
she said.
Mary Ann loves to volunteer because
she likes to know what is going on in the
community.
“Since I’m retired, I can volunteer where
I feel there is the greatest need or follow
what interests me,” she said. She fields
calls from other Chicago institutions
asking for her time and money, but she
always tells them that she’d rather keep
her money to support her neighborhood.
“We’ve been here a long time and
have really great neighbors, that’s why
we live here, shop here and eat at local
establishments.”
“There’s a lot of great things going on in
our community,” said Joe. “We have the
time and we’re just giving a little back.”
