Last night, we had our Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting at Sluggers in Wrigleyville! Thank you to all those who came and celebrated all the accomplishments we had in 2022.
We honored Alderman Tom Tunney for his 20 years of service to the 44th Ward. He has been a great advocate for our business community, a dedicated public servant for our residents and an inspirational leader in serving on City Council. We thank Alderman Tunney for his time, commitment, and community service to make Lakeview the best place to work, live and visit. We wish him the best in the near future and know that we can always go visit him for now at Ann Sather Restaurant after the election is over.
