Looking to play some beach volleyball, but can't gather enough people to play? Want to play a sport with fun people, but don't want to commit to playing a whole season? Looking to get active without the competitiveness that often comes with joining leagues? Enjoy playing in a co-ed environment? We've got you covered! West Town Social Club's beach volleyball tournaments are created specifically with individual players in mind--no need to pay for a whole team and beg your hesitant friends to join! All players in this tournament are registered as individuals, and will be assigned to one of four (4) teams based on self-ratings--we do our best to make sure all teams are evenly talented. Whether you are a beginner or an expert volleyballer, this event is all about allowing everyone to play in a non-competitive, fun environment. Why? Because at West Town Social Club, we're all about having a good time! This event will be co-ed, so that everyone has a chance to play. RULES/FORMAT Most standard recreational volleyball rules will apply. West Town Social Club's ruleset can be found here . Team assignments and the tournament schedule will be sent in detail via email prior to the event. The first round will be a round robin in which each team plays 3 games--one game against each other the other 3 teams in the tournament. This will be used to seed teams from 1-4 for the second round. Any tiebreakers will be determined first by head-to-head results, and then by point differential. The second round will serve as a semi-final, with the #1 seed playing #4 and #2 vs. #3 in in traditional best-of-3 format. The winners of the second round will then play a best-of-3 for the championship in the third round, with the losing teams playing a best-of-3 consolation round. The winning team will win 2 buckets of beer/seltzer at the after party! More on that below... AFTER PARTY We will have a great after party lined up after the tournament ends at Hopsmith Tavern (15 W Division St)! Specials include $25 domestic buckets, $30 seltzer buckets, and $5 Jameson shots. TEAMMATE REQUESTS/FULL TEAM SIGNUPS Anyone who registers a friend (or significant other) alongside them will get placed on a team together! Requests for additional teammates will be considered on a case-by-case basis up until one week prior to the tournament, and are not guaranteed to be honored. Please remember that this is meant to be a fun tournament where the emphasis is on being social/meeting new people rather than being competitive! Additionally, with this being a social event, full team signups are not available. While we hope to make this an absolutely fun and memorable tournament, there are a handful of important, not-so-fun things to note. Please see below: AGE REQUIREMENT : All participants must be at least 21 years old to participate. Proof of age may be requested by the organizer on the day of the event; please bring identification in case. Those who register and cannot show proof of age will be denied participation in the tournament and will NOT be refunded. ALCOHOL : The Chicago Park District strictly prohibits ANY alcohol consumption in city parks. If you are caught consuming alcohol during participation during this event, you will be asked to properly dispose of your beverage. Any further alcohol consumption witnessed during the event will result in being asked to leave and could potentially result in being banned from future West Town Social Club events. Please do not ruin the chances of us having another tournament by consuming alcohol on the beach courts; there are plenty of great establishments nearby to pregame (that being said, please don't show up heavily intoxicated--you may be asked to sit out until you sober up or to go home if there's serious concern for your well-being) and also to party afterwards. While we don't currently have a sponsor bar for this tournament, the organizer will have some solid recommendations for places to go afterwards! REFUND POLICY : No refunds will be issued except in the event of a non-weather related cancellation. WAIVER : All participants will be asked to sign a digital waiver prior to arrival, agreeing that West Town Social Club will not be held liable for any injuries and/or illness associated with participating in the beach volleyball tournament. Failure to sign this waiver will result in participation being denied with no refund being issued. WEATHER POLICY : We will do our best to play through the tournament on June 21st! In the event that inclement weather prevents play on that date, we will have a party and prize raffle at the sponsor bar. If weather prevents play on the scheduled date and courts are available, we will play the following Saturday (6/28). Any decisions regarding game play will be at the sole discretion of the organizer . Registration closes 24 hours prior to the event on 6/20, no exceptions! Reserve your spot today! NO REFUNDS; ALL SALES FINAL Like and follow West Town Social Club on Facebook/Instagram for all of the latest on upcoming fun events! https://www.facebook.com/WestTownSocialClub https://www.instagram.com/westtownsocialclub/ Information Source: West Town Social Club | eventbrite

The Teaching for Biliteracy Summer Institute brings together district and school-level teams of educators to engage in a deep dive into the instructional, programmatic, and curricular elements of teaching for biliteracy and the Bridge. This robust, multi-day institute will include large-group networking experiences and small-group sessions focused on specific biliteracy topics. The institute will feature: · Examples of the strategic use of Spanish (or other non-English language) and English in teaching for biliteracy in dual language one- and two-way programs. · Best practices in teaching Spanish (or other non-English language) and English literacy. · Sample biliteracy instruction and strategies that support the Bridge between languages. · Biliteracy unit framework for developing and delivering standards-based biliteracy units of instruction that integrate the teaching of language, literacy, and content. · Biliteracy schedules, language and content allocation plans, biliteracy curriculum maps, and other programmatic systems and structures to support biliteracy instruction. Target Audience: · This institute is designed for educators working in dual language programs that provide Spanish literacy (or a non-English language) and English literacy to students in one-way (AKA development bilingual or maintenance bilingual) or two-way programs. · It is recommended that teams of teachers and administrators attend together. Effective makeup of teams includes teachers and decision-makers, and those who support teachers such as coaches, specialists, principals and assistant principals, curriculum directors, literacy directors, bilingual directors, assistant superintendents, and school board members. We take a systems approach to implementing teaching for biliteracy; therefore, we will be sharing a number of structures that will require understanding and support on the part of teachers, leadership, and decision-makers to ensure they are well-implemented. Institute Location: This institute will take place in the heart of downtown Chicago within walking distance of world-class museums, shopping, restaurants, and swimming beaches on Lake Michigan.

At its core, Dandelions: Gods Don’t Cry is about resilience, transformation, and self-acceptance. The dandelion, often dismissed as a weed, symbolizes Blackness, queerness, and survival—thriving in places where it wasn’t meant to, adapting, and still standing tall. Through the 13-track journey, the album explores: Personal and collective Black histories, linking past and present struggles to the beauty of endurance. Queer identity and self-reclamation, navigating the world as both marginalized and divinely powerful. Family, grief, and healing, with storytelling that honors legacy while challenging systemic erasure. Musically, the album is immersive and cinematic, weaving together hip-hop, soul, and spoken word. It is meant to be experienced as a living, breathing piece of literature, aligned with Roy's mission to elevate rap as a literary art form. Information Source: Arts + Public Life | eventbrite

Ride Specifics Mileage: Day 1: roughly 100 Miles | Day 2: roughly 2 miles with return on Metra Support: Self supported - you carry all of your own camping gear on your own bike. No vehicle support. Lodging: Tent (camping gear not provided). We will stay at Chain O' Lakes State Park (IL DNR) located at 8916 Wilmot Road, Spring Grove IL 60081 ( map ). Pace: 12-15mph Trail/Route: Paved road with minimal gravel incorporated and possible snow. Age: Adult Ride (21+) Trip Description All aboard the Out Our Front Door Express as we trace the historic route of the grand old Roarin’ Elgin - the once-mighty interurban railway that soared along the banks of the Fox River. Setting out from Chicago, we first roll onto the Illinois Prairie Path. The very first Rails to Trails path, this route connects many scenic suburban towns and villages through its over 61 miles of pavement and gravel. Riding west with the early summer sun, we’ll stop for breakfast at the vibrant Wheaton French Market to grab fresh-baked pastries, local small batch cold brew, and other delights. Energized and fortified, we turn west up the Fox River trail and sail along the riverside through historic towns whose fortunes waxed and waned with the rails. We’ll see the Fox River Railway Museum in South Elgin, ride by windmills in Geneva, a restored train depot in Batavia, and maybe stop for BBQ in a converted caboose in Dundee! In between towns, we’ll take a break from the sun as the trail curls through deeply shaded oak forests, broad freshwater fens, and stunning stretches of oak savannah. As the summer sun starts to dip low, we’ll leave the Fox River valley behind and travel through the final miles of rolling farmland to arrive at Chain O’Lakes state park. Dinner awaits you on arrival, along with s’more and story telling around the campfire. This multi-modal adventure will cover approximately 100 miles on the first day. The following morning we ride a few short miles into Fox Lake to load up a Metra bike car and ride the rails back into Chicago to rest and recover. What's Included Campsite and firewood Food for Day 1 dinner and Day 2 breakfast.

They exude a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive spirit which are foundational values at OOFD. They have love and appreciation for their home and like sharing knowledge about that home with others, thus helping the riders to develop a stronger sense of gratitude for our local history and nature. The guides will be set with the route and an extensive script about the area you’ll be riding through with intentionally chosen breakpoints along the way. They are more than someone to follow on the ride. They are trained and will be there to encourage and support you as well as support with mechanicals that may arise.
