Chicago Elevator Association Celebrates the Season

The Chicago Elevator Association (CEA) held its annual Christmas Party on December 4 at The Copper Oak Event Space in River Grove, Illinois, welcoming 65 members to a warm gathering. Guests enjoyed a Mediterranean-inspired dinner and live entertainment from the Duneland Jazz Collective, which set a festive yet intimate mood. CEA Board President Mark Bajic reflected on the heart of the association. "The Chicago Elevator Association represents community, professionalism, trade and tradition," he said. Supporting him in leadership are Vice President Mark Wilson and Secretary/Treasurer Tom Przybyla. The evening also featured a raffle benefiting the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation (EESF), raising US$200 in support of the Foundation's mission to promote rider safety and education. — reported by EESF Executive Director Amber Catlin-Kolodziej
