* * It was
previously mentioned in a News & Notes about WMAQ-TV's Ginger Zee serving up some Berry Chill this coming Tuesday, with all proceeds going to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. One week from today, Ginger Zee will be doing even more to raise funds for LLS. On Sunday the 18th, she will be serving breakfast at Egg & I (7164 183rd St., Tinley Park) from 10:00am-Noon. 50% of the proceeds, plus all of her tips go towards the charity.
* * The 3rd annual Children's Oncology Services, Inc. "Campfire Ball" will be held on Saturday, April 24 at N9NE Steakhouse & Ghostbar (440 W. Randolph St, Chicago). It's just like summer camp... except it is coed, people dress up nice, alcohol is served, and it's indoors at a fancy establishment. The event to help raise funds for COSI (a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer) will feature Chicago media celebrities as guest bartenders. Among those participating will be the aforementioned Ginger Zee from WMAQ-TV, as well as, WTMX-FM's Melissa McGurren, WBBM-TV's Susan Carlson, WCSR-AM/WMAQ-TV's Matt Rodewald, and WFLD-TV's Kori Chambers, Jan Jeffcoat and Chris Sowers.
