Letter from the Staff: Star power on the rooftop

Dear Chicago Star family:

A post-pandemic explosion of culture, art, music and tourism hits Chicago this month.

Throughout this issue (and every issue), we celebrate the city and the people who make it great. It feels good to see Chicagoans making travel plans again and we’re proud to present our first social event page, City Seen, spotlighting one of the city’s very first in-person events hosted by The Joffrey Ballet and Neiman Marcus.

Our Bulletin is filled to the brim with activities you and your family can enjoy and we hope you are moved by our human interest stories too. We want to serve up information that helps you love where you live, work and play. Our mission is to help people connect to the wonderful resources Chicago has to offer. To that end, we invite you to make this paper your own and join our network of Chicago stars. Or sign up to be a member of our Star Club at chicagostarmedia.com/starclub to gain access to our extensive network.
