On Thursday, November 6, The Woman's Board of Winnetka Community House kicked off Antiques + Modernism Winnetka with a highly anticipated benefit Preview Party at Winnetka Community House. More than 350 collectors, treasure hunters, interior designers and community supporters gathered for a first glimpse of this highly anticipated style and design event. Chaired by Winnetka resident Amy Swartchild, the preview party helped raise more than $100,000 to support the programs and services of Winnetka Community House, a non-tax supported organization that is dependent on a broad base of community support for its existence.
