Supporters of the English Speaking Union (ESU) rang in the 2015 with a bang at the Casino Club in Chicago. The 220 black-or-white tie clad guests enjoyed dinner, dancing, and, of course, the countdown. Courtney Pitt of Winnetka and Brian White of Chicago served as co-chairs. The ESU celebrates English as a shared language to foster global understanding and goodwill by providing educational and cultural opportunities for students and educators. esuus.org/chicago
