Letter from the Executive Director:

This year is sure to be an exciting time in Edison Park! We will continue our efforts to build a new playlot at Edison Park in partnership with the President and CEO of the Chicago Blackhawks and childhood Edison Park resident, John McDonough as well as the Edison Park Community Council.  We will build on the momentum of the successful events from 2012 including our first Grub Crawl, Edison Park Restaurant Week, Unwrap Edison Park Shop Local Inititative, Edison Park Fest, the Edison Park Art Walk, and Santa Express to name just a few.  We will also introduce new events for our members and new and exciting events for our residents.  Overall, it is my personal goal to create an optimal mix of networking opportunities, social events and member benefits that will maximize the success of our 2013 membership drive.
