If you still need help getting into the holiday spirit, we have just what you need. Join us on Thursday, December 11th from 5:30 – 7:00 PM for All is Possible : An Evening with Author Rebecca Plotnick. The author of Paris Every Day will join us for a lively discussion and signing of her latest book, which will make the perfect holiday gift for anyone in your life who might love the City of Light or beautiful photography.
She’ll also bring prints of some of her most sought-after photographs of Paris, which will warm your heart with the magic of the most romantic city. With a healthy dose of l’esprit des fêtes françaises, wine and hors d’oeuvres, we’ll look forward to holidays and the coming New Year.
Up your holiday quotient with friends and neighbors in your favorite community space!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Grand Re-Opening Celebration! It was lovely to see so many new faces and old friends and to be able to welcome everyone into our new community space. We got to hear words from advocates of the project about what the Old Town Triangle Center means to them and see before-and-after pictures of the space during the remodeling.
We heard from State Representative Margaret Croke, Alderman Timmy Knudsen, State Senator Sara Fengieholtz, Matt Clock from our wonderful contractor, Brookwood Builders, and OTTA president Ray Clark.
Visitors were given tours of the new space by OTTA ambassadors. The Leslie Wolfe Gallery was also open to view the latest Exhibition by Jeff Grunewald, with the artist himself in attendance! To top it all off, the event featured a hot dog cart from Lincoln Dogs which served Chicago-style Vienna beef hot dogs in steamed poppy seed buns.
