Hats off to style and giving at The Service Club’s Spring Luncheon

Spring is in the air, and what better way to celebrate the season of renewal than with an afternoon of elegance, fashion, and philanthropy? The Service Club of Chicago invites you to Styles in Bloom - Spring Hat Luncheon on Tuesday, May 13th, at the Ritz-Carlton, Chicago.

The festivities kick off with a sparkling champagne reception at 11:00 AM, setting the perfect tone for a day of sophistication and style. At 12:00 PM, guests will be treated to an elegant luncheon and presentation, expertly curated by Co-Chairs Paula Borg, Kathleen Haines-Finley and Sherry Lea Holson.

This year’s event features an exclusive showcase by Kat Cole, the celebrated Chicago-based hat and accessories designer behind the luxury brand Kat and Clarese. With her work gracing the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and Glamour, Ms. Cole is renowned for her exquisite flower crowns, adorned with Swarovski crystals, luxury fabrics, sequins, feathers and delicate French veiling. Her contemporary accessories line is a breathtaking fusion of glamour, femininity and wearable art.

Fresh from her latest New York Fashion Week presentation, Ms. Cole will share her journey from a successful career in PR and advertising to launching her eponymous brand. Attendees will be captivated by her inspiring story, as she unveils an exclusive collection of her signature headpieces—each impeccably styled with chic spring ensembles provided by luxury retail partner, Neiman Marcus.

Beyond the stunning fashion and engaging conversation, Styles in Bloom is a celebration of charitable giving. Guests will have the chance to participate in an exciting silent auction, thrilling live auction, and exclusive raffle prizes—each offering one-of-a-kind items you won’t want to miss!

Since 1890, The Service Club of Chicago has been a volunteer-driven, women-led organization dedicated to awarding high-impact grants that support innovative programs for non-profits across Chicagoland. This annual luncheon serves as a vital fundraising event, continuing the Club’s mission of empowering local communities through philanthropy.
