International Trade Club of Chicago Celebrates Its Centennial
The International Trade Club of Chicago was founded in 1919 to promote trade and commerce around the world with a focus on Chicago. The Centennial Celebration on March 10 at the Merchandise Mart commemorates ITCC's 100 years of service and lays the groundwork for another century of civic engagement.
The theme is "A Second Century of Service."
We are inspired by Daniel Burnham's call for action:
"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency."
Celebrating its past service to Chicago and helping to lay the groundwork for making no little plans in the next century are distinguished guests:
The Honorable Samir Mayekar
Deputy Mayor of Chicago
Theodore R. Krause
Department Head and Theme Leader
Argonne National Laboratory
Marshall Schmitt
President, Rotary Club of Chicago
