One of Evanston’s hidden treasures, the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian at 3001 Central Street, Evanston (the northwest corner of Central St. & Central Park Ave.), will host a Family Day this Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024. The daylong celebration will feature Ecology Center staff and live animals at 10:30, an all-ages clay turtle art workshop led by an Oneida Nation artist at 12:15, a 2:00 pm workshop on making birchbark and porcupine quill earrings.

While weather extremes have hammered many parts of America this spring, many of the systems have moderated by the time they reach the Chicago area, and we've experienced a pattern of rain and then sun more like springs of the past than the long, cold, wet of many recent years. This has produced, as far as I can see, a bumper year for spring wildflowers.

You are specially invited to an early-stage planning session for what may lead to a new Comprehensive Plan for Evanston. This is your last opportunity to chime in for what has been called Phase I:

Winter in Chicagoland can be long and hard, as can some public debates. CSNA, with activities such as our annual musical entry in the 4th of July Parade, has always been about far more than City business, and we want to thank you for staying involved, and offer past, present, and potential future members a break from it all!
