WILMETTE LIFE May 11. 1928 Ravinia Club Opens Spring Season on the North Shore Village Chairmen . Name Committees .for Spring Drive BY JEAN TEN BROECK ~-T-· _o_B_e_M_a_y_B_r_i_de_-.~11~--At_H_o_m_e_in_C_it_Y_ Atd~n · Shpte Grads _.I Return to Camp fot Annual Homecoming . A . luncheon at the Moraine hott:;l Tuesday was the spark that set off another annually recurring activity on the north shore, the Ravinia club. So firmly cstabli hed is this out-of-door opera and concert organization that ;t would be necessarv for some unthought of catastrophe to occur to disrupt it, and so regularly functioning is. it that we feel, after several years of chronicling it:; actidty, that we no longer need that tabular register of the division s of the year named a calendar, to know that May brings Ravinja club activity, or, conversely, that a notice of Ravinia club activity means May on the north shore. Louis Eckstein, who, as long as we can remember has been identified with all that Ravinia reprc~ents, was host again at this annual affair for members of the Ravinia club. The town chairmen of the club have had their committees arranged but have awaited its advent before opening their subscription solicitation in each village. Now that the luncheon is over, and plans complete, ea'ch village will have its own meeting time before · launching its campaign.
