Chicago House held its Birdhouse Auction/Cocktail Party June 19 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E. Chicago. The chic venue was the perfect backdrop for the silent-auction items, which ranged from the traditional to the highly innovative. Also on hand were Kristi Gorsuch and Beth Somers (and treats) from Sweet Miss Giving's Bakery ( Article Link Here ), which provides job training and work experience to low-income and disabled people. 'It's a six-month internship run twice a year. We have some areas set up in baking production; packaging and assembly for our gift baskets; delivery assistance and customer service; and, eventually we'll be looking at retail space for a storefront,' Gorsuch told Windy City Times. 'We're teaching [people] transferable skills to get them back into the permanent workforce.' Photos and text by Andrew Davis; see more at Article Link Here .
