LaSalle Bank Award Ceremony Highlights Chicago Neighborhoods
For the third year in a row, Chicago Scenic helped LaSalle Bank put on their annual Tom Gobby Achievement Award ceremony. This year the event's format was changed from a panel discussion to a reception. The party was well received with over 300 people in attendance.

The event was held at the Standard Club which allowed CSSI an opportunity to provide a larger than usual décor package for this special event, Project Manager John Beckman worked closely with LaSalle's Michelle Arnold, assistant vice president of special events, and her colleague Stephanie Kuecken to make sure the event went off without a hitch.

CSSI's Andy Lemerand and Nick Levinsky worked onsite to theme the room with décor. The buffet tables and bar were decorated with props that highlighted various Chicago neighborhoods where LaSalle has financed properties. Neighborhoods represented on buffet tables were the Pilsen District, which was decorated with a Mexican theme, China Town, Little Italy, and the Fulton Street Market, which was represented by a push cart decorated with fresh flowers and lots of the savory items one would expect to buy there. The bar was themed as Greek Town and was decorated with ivy and a statue of Diana.

CSSI also provided a stage, curtains, and a large LaSalle logo created using our CNC router. Other scenic elements included general décor items such as flowers, plants, and a front projection screen that showed pictures of financed properties in the various neighborhoods. CSSI's Job Lead Ken Glucksberg worked with Tim Steimle and Dan Yuen on the project in the shop.
