After the state announcement, CTA, Metra and the Chicago Department of Aviation also lifted their mask requirements.

With the pandemic easing, people have been finding other things to do, and other video streaming services are working hard to lure new viewers with their own award-winning programming.

“One, you’ve got to have that connection,” he said. “You both have to be on the same page with what concept you’re running and with what coverage you’re running into. And then the second thing is that ‘it’ factor, that mentality. It’s that dog mentality where no matter what the situation is, what coverage it is, who’s guarding you, your guy’s going to make a play.

The multimedia Jack & Jill exhibit, “Rooted in Legacy, Growing Toward the Future,” will have a garden theme to represent growth, hope and optimism while also highlighting the chapter’s work through the years, Jackson said. A 20-foot tall, 3-D tree will be prominent in between window panels featuring two televisions that will show a film of interviews with Jack and Jill members from every decade since the 1940s, sharing their experiences with the organization. Other parts of the show will include signs of affirmation, a sensory writing board for children to touch, and many Chicago Chapter photos from its 1947 inception to now. Four other Chicagoland chapters (Western Cook County, Magnificent Mile, North Shore and South Suburban) participated in the exhibit and will also have individual chapter videos included. The Chicago Chapter support also extends to a membership drive for the DuSable.
