DAN has morphed over the years from informal, perhaps potluck, to sumptuous dinners in spectacular gorgeous and architecturally significant locations, to Zoom.
.
This week we pose some questions to answer the question, How Much Do You Know About DAN?.
1 – What does DAN stand for? (That’s a gimme question. Everyone should know the name, which explains the function of the annual event.)
2 – When was the first official DAN held?
3 – Before the Board of Trustees sponsored DAN, which it does today, which CAF Docent Council Committee organized DAN?
4 – In what year was DAN a black tie affair?
5 – How many of the following were themes for DAN evenings?
a – Look at Us Now
b – Paris on the Prairie
c – Docents for All Seasons
d – Sweet Home Chicago
6 – Which venues match these descriptions?
a – Served as a location for soldiers’ entertainment during World War II?
b – Was one of the tallest buildings we have visited and a group of docent voices greeted people as they entered?
7.. Which of these venues has CAF/CAC used for DAN more than once:
a – Chicago Athletic Association (Hotel)
b – Palmer House
c – Radisson Blu
d – The Intercontinental
8 – Who was chairman of DAN when the L train tracks led you to your table; the tables were renamed for L stops, and the Blues Brothers arrived to talk about “Chicawga”
Answers and a history of DAN will appear next week.
