The Out-of-Towners Holly Victoria Samonte-Ampon, The Cooling Station A North Shore business takes more than an idea, a location and good luck. You need to find your niche, identify your prime customers and, if you’re smart, leverage business-to-business networks. As residents of Highland Park, we already knew that the Highland Park Chamber of Commerce offered business education and great community events. So when The Cooling Station first opened in downtown Highwood, we also joined the Chamber in Highland Park. More than 50 other Chamber members have work addresses outside 60035. Membership has its privileges, but what’s in it for out-of-towners And what do they say about Highland Park For Deborah Levy, owner of Gallery 57, membership was a practical matter. “I attended two Chamber educational seminars, and immediately applied what I learned in my shop. My Highland Park clients also encouraged me to join.” Gallery 57, located at 325 Waukegan Avenue in Highwood (847-433-4750) displays oil paintings and sculptures from local and international artists. “Artists from the gallery accept commissions. If a client wants a sunset on the beach, I can assign an artist who could do that exactly as the client envisions,” says Deborah. “We also lease artwork. We can provide businesses with a fresh collection of different artwork each month,” she added. local impact that she was given the Key to the City and the title of honorary mayor of the City of Franklin. Her style is extremely personal: “The techniques that I use in my oil paintings come from my life experiences, unique techniques and formal training,” she explained. Deborah is a frequent visitor to Highland Park. “I see friends and have business dealings. I find Highland Park residents to be very friendly and warm. They are also willing to try new things,” she observed. Trying new things is also a quality of the Chamber. Consider Fashion Week, an HPCoC initiative in 2006. Hope Weis of Hope Weis Consulting (hwwconsulting.com, 847-940-1741) recently joined the Chamber so she could be part of this year’s events, which will showcase the latest trends for the coming season in apparel and jewelry. “I was encouraged by Tony Gordon of Gordon Salons to get involved with the Fashion Week committee. I am helping to plan the kick-off cocktail party on September 25 and the luncheon/runway show on September 28,” Hope explained. Hope has been a wedding and event consultant for 15 years. She has worked as an assistant director and director of catering in fine <strong>Chicago</strong> hotels including The Ritz Carlton, Hotel Nikko and the Knickerbocker.. “I help create lifelong memories,” she explains. “My years in hotels gave me tons of experience in event planning of all types and a solid background (continued on next page) “When I was in my first year at Negev University in Beersheva, Israel, I took up biology. Painting was just a hobby. It was my roommate who encouraged me to paint, and she was my first client, buying an oil painting.” In 2000, after studying architectural and fashion design in Venezuela, Deborah was commissioned to do a mural in Curaçao, just off Venezuela’s west coast. Another commission, in Franklin, Indiana, had such 18 / Fall 2007
