Join us at Sketchbook Brewing Company in Evanston for our Sunday Board Game Meetup! We meet most Sundays at Sketchbook. Just look for the group in the back that has stacks of board games to pick from! We welcome people of all skill levels to come and play, as we always teach new games to people that have not played them before. Feel free to bring your own games that you want to teach and are familiar with. A typical event starts with talking about what we brought that week, and then we break out into smaller groups to play games based on player count and what everyone is interested in. It's common to have 2 or 3 games going at once, and fitting in a second or third game before the event ends at 4pm. Please RSVP and be on time so that we can include you at the start of the first game, and buy a drink to support the venue!

This is a **stationary guided church visit — no walking tour** — allowing us to slow down and truly appreciate the church’s architecture, artwork, symbolism, and history in a peaceful and reflective setting. Expect soaring ceilings, dramatic altars, rich stained glass, devotional shrines, and stories that connect Catholic tradition with Chicago’s industrial and immigrant past. ✨ *** 🕰️ **Schedule, Meeting Info & Cost** 📅 **Saturday, February 14, 2026** ⏰ **10:00 AM – 12:00 PM** 📍 **St. Barbara Roman Catholic Church** 2859 S.

Named for **St. Barbara**, patron saint of miners and workers in dangerous trades, the parish became a spiritual refuge for laboring families seeking faith, stability, and community. The current church building, completed in the **1910s**, is a stunning example of the **Polish Cathedral style** — a uniquely American expression of Catholic architecture characterized by monumental scale, classical influences, lavish ornamentation, and an emphasis on beauty as an act of devotion. Inside, the church is richly adorned with: * Grand altars * Painted ceilings and murals * Sculptural details * Stained glass honoring saints, sacraments, and Polish religious heritage Every element was designed to inspire awe, reinforce Catholic teaching, and reflect the pride and sacrifice of the immigrant community that built it. For generations, St. Barbara served as a cultural, spiritual, and social anchor — hosting baptisms, weddings, funerals, festivals, and daily worship that shaped neighborhood life. As demographics evolved, the parish continued to adapt while preserving its extraordinary artistic and architectural legacy. Today, St. Barbara remains an active parish and a treasured landmark — one of Chicago’s most impressive examples of early 20th-century Catholic church design. *** 🍽️ **Optional Coffee or Lunch After the Visit** Those interested are welcome to join me afterward for coffee or lunch at a nearby neighborhood spot. 🍽️ Options will be shared closer to the date. ⚠️ Please bring cash — some venues may not split checks. *** 👟 **What to Bring** • Camera • Respectful attire • $15 tour fee (exact change appreciated) *** 🚇 **Getting There** Public transportation is easy and encouraged.

Three, three, three streets in one! We'll meet at[ Deko Cafe](https://cafedeko.com/contact2.html), 715 S. Dearborn St and then head over to Franklin and walk north. Franklin turns into Orleans at the river and ends at Wisconsin. These two streets combined aren't long enough for a decent February walk so we will head north to Webster and go south on Hudson Ave, ending at Erie St. The 6.67 mile point to point route can be found [here.](https://routes.rungoapp.com/route/ldXgSUN1dd) Hudson Ave, named for the English navigator Henry Hudson, who explored America from about 1607 - 1611. He discovered the Hudson River in 1610. Orleans St. was named for either New Orleans, LA, or the French city of Orleans on the banks of the Loire River. in 1429 Orleans was under siege by the English. They were turned back by Joan of Arc. How do Hudson and Franklin tie into New Orleans, Orleans or Mardi Gras? Well, I'll tell you. Or I should say, ChatGPT will tell you this: *The most direct and concrete connection between the names **Hudson** and **Franklin** with Mardi Gras is through a single historical figure and a specific event:* *The strongest link is a historical figure who brought the names together during a major Mardi Gras season:* * ***Mary Hudson Vandegrift*** *(originally Mary Evelyn Hudson) was a successful businesswoman who founded the Hudson Oil Company.* * *In **1965**, she was crowned **Queen** of the **Krewe of Venus**, which was the first all-female Mardi Gras krewe established in New Orleans.* * *The archival records of her Mardi Gras experience explicitly mention her husband, **Frank Vandegrift**.* *The record states that a scrapbook album relating to the event includes correspondence and ephemera surrounding both the 1965 Mardi Gras celebration and her **20th wedding anniversary to her husband, Frank Vandegrift** (1898-1977).* My lunch suggestion is Mr. Beef on Orleans and Huron. I have yet to dine at this iconic Chicago staple made popular lately by the high-intensity show, The Bear.

​We all have those books that changed how we think, but we rarely get the chance to share those insights with friends. Let’s change that! ​Join us for **Lightning Book talks**, a relaxed evening where we share the best bits from a non-fiction book (preferably effective altruism related) you've read recently. The goal isn't to give a formal book report—it’s to share one or two "aha!" moments that you think others would find interesting. ​**How it works:** * ​**Pick a non-fiction book** you’ve read (recently or years ago). The more EA related the better! * ​**The Lowdown:** You get 5 minutes to tell us the "TL;DR"—what was it about, and what’s the coolest thing you learned? We'll discuss after. * ​**The Hangout:** We’ll chat about the ideas over some vegan food and drinks. ​No pressure to be an expert! If you haven't read anything lately, just come to hang out and grab some recommendations for your nightstand. Doors Open at 6 but likely won't start the talks until 7!
