CADS ANNUAL MEETING 2012
Save the date of February 18 for the CADS Annual Meeting at Roosevelt University's Congress Lounge. The program will include Rolf Achilles giving an illustrated presentation on the work of Joze Plecnik.
While internationally acclaimed by a few,
Plecnik (1872-1957) was an important
architect and designer of the 1920's and 30's
in Slovenia. An illustrated lecture by Rolf
Achilles will shed new light on Plecnik and his
wonderful world of personal inspiration, joy
in materials, and creation of a national spirit
in waterworks and bridges, light posts,
mausolea, and a dazzling library all in highly
creative Deco riffs in Ljubljana, Slovenia
within former Yugoslavia. We will also preview the exciting events CADS has planned for 2012, recap our successes of 2011, and introduce our new Board. This program is free and open to the public. This is a great opportunity to introduce CADS to your friends and prospective members.

ART DECO POSTCARD BOOK
For the readers among us -
Long time CADS member and prolific author Patricia Bayer has written a new book on Art Deco Postcards. The book was just released in the UK and is scheduled to be released in the US at the end of the month.
Patricia is well known for her previous books on Art Deco Architecture and Art Deco Interiors. We are talking about her coming to Chicago early next year for an event.
PAGODA / CLUB LUCKY SOCIAL EVENT
Lots of CADS members turned out for the October 13 social event at Club Lucky and Pagoda Red. See below.
WEB
SITE FEATURE
Don't forget that we have a section on our website called Collectors Corner.
Whenever we can we will be featuring the art deco collection of any member
who wishes to share it with our audience in a photo online exhibit. You
may participate as an anonymous collector or take full credit. Either way,
our viewing audience will be that much richer for having seen it. Currently
we are showcasing the art deco frame collection of Steve Starr. Go
there now. Please contact Joe Loundy at chicagoartdecosociety@yahoo.com
for full details.
Cads also extends its
heartfelt thanks to Seymour Persky for helping fund our website.
