Cabaret Fundraiser
24 February 9:00 pm
Venture into the dark strasse and even darker cafes of Weimar Berlin with us.
Somewhere through the haze of tobacco, a sultry voice calls to you, its gender erased by wine and liquor, its message of heartbreak and heat warms your cheeks as the champagnes cools your lustig thirst.
And you can only wish the caress of the ivory keys was for you.
Elizabeth Doyle seduces you with German & French sets and gets a little bawdy.
Ticket includes one glass of sparkling Sekt and appetizers.
$30 each or 2 for $50Fassade Fundraising
From Hidden Gem...
This year the DANK Haus will completely remodel its first floor facade. This large scale endeavor will improve the appearance of the building, the organization, and the neighborhood, and ensure that the DANK Haus remains the "jewel of Western" for generations to come. The new facade will cost approximately $367,000 and be partially funded by a City of Chicago SBIF grant.
... to Jewel of Western
We are excited to watch the transformation occur, and ask that you be part of the DANK Haus legacy and help us to complete this project with your tax-deductible contribution, which can be made out to DANK Haus, 4740 N Western Ave Chicago IL 60625.

German Cinema Now - Grave Decisions
24 Feb 7:30 p.m.
Contemporary German films with English subtitles. FREE admission!
An 11 year-old boy's attempts to overcome guilt related to his mother's death may not seem like ripe comedic territory at first glance--but co-writer-director Marcus H. Rosenmueller makes it work in this hilarious, touching and distinctly Bavarian tale.
Sebastian, the boy in question, sees life as one big adventure, yet believes he is responsible for his mother's death because she died while giving birth to him. Sebastian has an array of other terrible "misdeeds" to answer for, and in a naive attempt to evade the eternal blaze, he tries with all his might to cleanse himself of his sins.
Sebastian's overzealousness, however, does not reap the success he had hoped. Finally, he believes he has received a sign from his mother: he is to find a new wife for his father.
