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.
