And I like large parties. They re so intimate. At small parties there isn t any privacy. F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby Take a trip back to the roaring 20 s where the Charleston was the dance of choice, and liquor was hard to find. There isn t a better place in Chicago that can transport you to the time of Jay Gatsby like the beautiful Art Deco architecture of the Palmer House Chicago. Join us for Aspire s 17th annual gala, and maybe break a few prohibition laws along the way!
