TAP-Chicago May Mixer / School Supply Donation Drive at Vinyl Social Food & Drink

Join TAP-Chicago for our May Happy Hour/ Mixer. Spring is in full bloom, and as temperatues rise, so does the Chicago social scene. Come out and network with new folks, or get reacquainted with old friends at Vinyl Social Food and Drink. Located at the epicenter of Chicago’s River North neighborhood, Vinyl is the premier place to enjoy a comfortable and casual atmosphere, designed to please all of your senses. TAP will takeover the downstairs lounge space which features a full bar, pool tables, dart boards, & TV's. Complimentary appetizers will be provided, as well as drink specials featuring $6 Tito Vodka cocktails and $5 Fireball shots

In addition to this month's mixer, we will be running a school supply donation drive, and accepting brand new school supply donations for The Franklin Fine Arts Center. Not all of the Chicago Public League Schools can afford programs which support the fine arts. The Franklin Fine Arts Center provides a foundation for progressing to higher levels of achievement by ensuring all students a rich Fine Arts education. We accomplish this goal by providing a challenging educational program: encouraging students to work collaboratively; focusing on individual learning styles; developing life and social skills; and promoting respectful behavior toward peers and adults.
