The Spring Benefit—A New View
Connections for the Homeless raised a

View, on Friday, April 23, 2004. Emceed by Evanston resident Derrick
Blakley, news anchor and reporter for CBS 2 CHICAGO, the event drew more than 240
friends of Connections to the Windows Ballroom in the DoubleTree Hotel in Skokie.
Guests

items, and celebrated significant supporters of Connections. The Argus Press of
Niles was honored as Connections’ Corporate Partner of the Year
for its generous printing services and assistance in building new and lasting
relationships. The Village Treasure House, a generous supporter of
Connections for the Homeless for many years, has provided grants from their re-sale shop
