Ever wonder what that fascinating person sitting next to you at ResCov is about? Do they know a particularly cunning way to cut mangoes? Do they understand The Burnham Plan and how it shaped our fair city? Has a recipe for almond paste been passed down to them from an Italian great grandmother? Do they regularly cook for hundreds of people in a kitchen that travels on rails between here and California without losing their balance or their chef knives? Do they scour the city in search of the hippest fabric in town—and know how to create something useful from that fabric once they find it?
        Well.
If you've been curious about the people who make up our community, The Swap is for you. At 3pm on the last Saturday of each month, we'll do some spelunking inside the mind and interests of someone at ResCov. Each month will feature at least one intriguing and peculiarly charming person holding forth on something they care about deeply. All events are open to friends and neighbors.

Coming up:

November and December 2009 - The Swap will be taking a break over the holidays of November and December, but will be back in 2010 with some exciting new topics!

If you'd like to let us in on something that animates you, please contact Lisa Beth Anderson (773-749- 3540). We're currently scheduling for events in October, November, and December.
