It’s that special time of year when we celebrate what we do best — dining, designing, and making a diffarence! And this year, what a beauty this design feast set before us! I raise a glass to dining by design co-chairs Joe Agati and Brian Smuts and to DIFFA/CHICAGO Board of Directors under the leadership of chair Steve Kadlec and Vice Chair Kim Winzeler! Your leadership, passion, and vision are invaluable to our continued success. Thanks to the generosity of the Angelo Donghia Foundation that supports the student design initiative teams at the Illinois Institute of Art and ASID Illinois. Remember, the next generation is our future. Since 1984, DIFFA has provided over $40 million in funds that service organizations around the county, including the life-saving work of local organizations throughout chicago. You all make that possible! To everyone making a huge diffarence — designers, sponsors, volunteers and attendees — a heartfelt thank you, continue to strive to make a diffarence and bon appetit!

C O M / I N T E R I O R S - C H I C A G O CS INTERIORS @CSINTERIORS DIFfA' S DINInG BY DesIGN 2014 BEauty ANd The FeaST LETTER FROM THE CHICAGO CHAIRS DEAR FRIENDS OF DIFFA/CHICAGO: On behalf of the entire Dining by Design 2014 committee, we want to thank all the individuals and companies that have worked so hard to make this event a reality. For the last twelve years, DIFFA’s Dining by Design has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for HIV/AIDS service organizations in the Chicagoland area, through the creation of innovative and beautiful dining environments. Diffa’s unrestricted grants provide direct service for people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as preventative education and outreach to those at risk and the funds raised during this event are instrumental in providing those grants. The theme and identity of this year’s event, “Beauty and the Feast”, builds on the successes of the past eleven years, and takes the event to an entirely different place. We couldn’t be more excited about the opportunities this identity has afforded us to attract new audiences and inject new vitality into an already popular event… all the while raising funds for our grant organizations. Thank you to Richard Cassis of sparc, inc. for his leadership in creating this vision for Dining by Design. Thank you to our national sponsors, Dark Horse Wine and Patrón Tequila, for their generous support this year. The Design Center at the Merchandise Mart Properties continues to support us with location, logistics and connections for which we are truly grateful. Plus we are always thankful to Modern Luxury Interiors Chicago for their media sponsorship; they are true partners who continue to showcase our sponsors and designers while bringing new opportunities our way. We salute Jenn-Air for their continued support of DIFFA/Chicago and Dining by Design; they too, have become a valued partner. A new partner this year, SOFA Chicago, has also proven to DIFfA' S DINInG BY DesIGN 2014 BEauty ANd The FeaST LETTER FROM THE CHICAGO CHAIRS be very committed to our event and has brought many new connections our way. We look forward to a long relationship with SOFA Chicago. Thank you is not enough to say to each and every table sponsor. We truly could not raise the funds for our Excellence in Care Awards without their continued support and participation. And thank you to the talented chicago design community for creating tables that take our breath away. We have so many local supporters and underwriters like Phil Stefani’s Signature Events and many others who have helped us provide a unique experience to our guests. And what is the event without some auction action! Thanks to our generous donors who have provided items for a very unique experience this year. The auction committee really stepped up and we salute you! Thank you to all of the great restaurants at Table Hop and Taste — for their signature tastes while viewing all your gorgeous creations. Lastly, we’d like to extend a personal thank you to every member of our planning committee. Our hats are off to you. We invite you to join us at our Grants Reception at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in March 2015 to see all of your hard work pay off through the gratitude of those we all support! Now please enjoy Beauty and the Feast! JOE AGATI EVENT CO-CHAIR BRIAN W. SMUTS EVENT CO-CHAIR A handmade picture of a handmade bottle containing handmade tequila.
