"For their biennial Gala, the Alliance Francaise de Chicago, presented their 'Une Soirée de Gala, Un dîner Gastronomique,' on stage at the Chicago Civic Opera House. The event exceeded all previous galas in fundraising and attendance. Many international, national, and local business guests came to support the Alliance Française: His Excellency Pierre Vimont, Ambassador to the United States, Princesse Marie-Blanche de Broglie, The Honorable Jean-Baptiste Main de Boissière and Madame Main de Boissière, Consul General of France in Chicago."

"Celebrities confessing their vices? It's generally the stuff of a Vanity Fair profile. But at Wednesday night's screening of Peter Tolan's new movie Finding Amanda, hosted by the Cinema Society and Generra, the film's two headliners were happy to spill. 'I had my pot time in high school,' said Matthew Broderick, who plays an embattled uncle to Brittany Snow's materialistic character, Amanda ..Narciso Rodriguez, Cynthia Rowley, Irina Pantaeva, Bettina Zilkha, Debbie Bancroft, Milena Jovovich, Maggie Rizer and Army Wives star Terry Serpico, who was celebrating his 14th wedding anniversary that night, all attended the screening at Tribeca Grand before hitting the after party at the Soho Grand penthouse (the originally planned soiree in the garden was scrapped due to rain). There, they were joined by Dennis Leary, Steve Guttenberg, Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr and Nathan Lane, all of whom supped on Bento boxes, bowls of lima beans and trays of tuna tartare as they tried to relate to the film's theme."
