Art For-Charity

Great story.

Thank you for supporting kids.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northwest Suburbs recently opened the Foglia Woodlands Teen Center in Carpentersville and our beloved Darlene Motl is honored there.

One of many beautiful quilts she made hangs in the Darlene Motl Laundry Room. As a teacher, she always wanted the best for her students, and we are so proud that her compassion continues to better the lives of children and teens in the community.

Thank you, Lauren!

Our hosts have a great place to party 🎉 🌲🎅

🎄 WAIT…ARE WE TALKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS ALREADY?! 🎄

Apparently, YES. 😂

We just received our first inquiry about hosting a Christmas party, which means it’s officially time to say it:

✨ Eastside is now booking holiday parties! ✨

Office Christmas party?
Girls’ night?
Book club holiday get-together?
Family gathering?
Cookie exchange?
Ugly sweater party?
“I love my friends but absolutely do not want 25 people in my house” party? 👀

We’ve got you. ❤️

Host your holiday gathering in our cozy little corner of East Dundee and let us take care of the fun stuff — coffee, cocktails, w**e, grazing boards, festive bites and all those warm, twinkly Eastside Christmas vibes. 🎄☕🍷

We can work with you to create something that fits your group, from a casual cocktail gathering to a full private holiday party.

Send us a message or email us to start planning your holiday party at Eastside!

I mean, isn't the best Christmas party the one where someone else does the dishes? 😉🎅🏻
