What better way to spend a spring afternoon than to join family and friends at a benefit for the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra at Pinstripes in Oak Brook, on Saturday, April 8 from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. Located at 7 Oak Brook Mall, Pinstripes offers fun for family members of all ages.   Games, good food, music, laughter and good times are all on the menu.  Let’s Play! (bowling and bocce), Let’s Eat! (pizza, flatbread and more buffet), and Let’s Hear! (Lake Effect band with music from the 50s, 60s and 70s) will be in the spotlight throughout the afternoon. Come early and enjoy every minute. This is an event you and your family will not want to miss!
