It’s free!  It’s outdoors!  Meet your friends for a weekly lunch date at the McCormick Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum.  Join us each Monday under the summer sun for a free lecture series (June 1 – July 27, 2015) on the Chicago Riverwalk. Come learn more about local issues you care about, stroll the newly expanded riverwalk, and visit Friends’ unique Bridgehouse Museum.
