The annual Chicago House World Tour benefit at the Four Seasons featured performer RuPaul. But he played major diva and would not allow his image to be photographed. That’s OK, we had better pics to take. Honorees this year were: Michael Cook (recently appointed executive director of Interfaith House, a nationally recognized respite for ill or injured homeless people), volunteer Joyce Carson, AIDS Foundation of Chicago, Chicago Dept. of Public Health, and state Sens. Steve Rauschenberger and Lisa Madigan (running for state Attorney General). TOP: Chicago House Director. of Development Brad McLaughlin with honoree Carson. RIGHT: AFC E.D.

Chicago House hosted their ‘World Tour’ annual awards at the Four Seasons last Saturday night. While performer RuPaul would not allow pics, the honorees were more than happy to pose. See page 43. At far right is awardee Michael Cook, with his partner Ernesto Mejil, both in the spirit of the colorful benefit program.
