The Auxiliary of NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) proudly kicked off planning for the 2018 American Craft Exposition (ACE) at the Chicago Botanic Garden in late January. ACE committee members, including 2018 co-chairs, Leslie Sevcik and Kathy Leighton gathered to discuss plans for the 34th annual event, which will once again be held on the Garden’s exquisite grounds in September. The event featured several speakers including Deborah Tabor, NorthShore’s Administrative Director of Psychiatry and Jodi Zombolo, Associate Vice President of Visitor Events and Programs at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Before the event came to a close, last year’s co-chairs, Laura Koh and Melissa David, presented two checks in the amount of $212,500 each to the beneficiaries of ACE 2017. americancraftexpo.org
