    Our "Lifestyles" Housewalk has been voted "Best on the North Shore," and is always a treat. In May 2012, a series of special and beautiful homes will be featured that reflect the varied and creative "lifestyles" of residents enjoying life on the North Shore. By attending this annual event, you are helping to support The Winnetka Club, which is a community service organization dedicated to supporting locally-based projects and our scholarship programs.

    Mark your calendars — The 2012 Housewalk is scheduled for Wednesday, May 16.
