9–9:30 Toast to & Honoring Nigel's Life and Legacy

Our dear friend and student Nigel Bahadur passed this year. He was a staple in the Chicago scene, generous with his time, attention, and his whisky and chocolate. We will have a toast to him and a chance for those who knew him directly to share a memory and those who didn't to learn a little about him. We will be providing enough whisky and chocolate for everyone to toast but in the spirit of Nigel we ask you to consider bringing a nice chocolate, or a little bit of whisky, to share.
