Advocates Society plans a Night at the Museum... for CLE credit

The Advocates Society is hosting A Night at the Chicago History Museum, Wednesday, August 23, starting at 4:45 p.m.

The formal program begins at 5:00 p.m., with a presentation by Dominic Pacyga, an Emeritus Professor of History at Columbia College and the author of, inter alia, American Warsaw: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of Polish Chicago and Chicago: A Biography, on how changing immigration laws have affected Polish immigration. One hour of CLE credit is offered for registered attendees.

Following the CLE program, at 6:00 p.m., attendees will be free to explore the Chicago History Museum's "Back Home: Polish Chicago" exhibit. Sponsors advise that Prof. Pacyga, Exhibit Curator Peter Alter, and Advocates members who have contributed items to the exhibit will all be available for questions between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m.

Tickets for this event are $50 each ($30 for students and government attorneys). Sponsorships are also available ($100 - Silver, $250 - Gold, $500 - Platinum).

Discounted parking (for $10) is available in the CHM lot on Stockton Dr., a block north of the museum; validation must be obtained at the museum's front desk.
