We keep the group small so that everyone can get to know each other and have a chance to share and there is no fee. Topics may include: solo parenting, how to find a path forward, building a support network, how to plan for your future, self-care and more.
Legacy Guild is pleased to again offer a Fall 2025 session of Embracing the Struggles Together bereavement group for all widow/widower parents with children (toddlers through college age) who reside in the Lyons Township High School District 204 area.
Mentorship, and Fellowship are the pillars of the Legacy Guild. Through the bereavement group, we’ve expanded our meaning of fellowship, creating another space for connection and widening the circle of support for local families navigating loss.

Live Music by Dylan Raymond

Live Music by Goran Ivanovic & Fareed Haque
2025-11-13 19:00 | First Presbyterian Church, 150 S. Ashland Avenue, La Grange, IL, 60525, United States
Inspired by the rhythms and melodies of flamenco, jazz, classical, rock and the Balkan region, this performance features the unrivaled guitar artistry of two of the finest players of their respective generations. Their music is carefully balanced between blazing virtuosity and sheer beauty.
Goran Ivanovic and Fareed Haque recorded two CDs together, Macedonian Blues and 7 Boats, to great critical acclaim, even getting the nod as top best acoustic guitar albums 2004 from acoustic guitar magazine. Both have both been so busy that they have not been able to play again together for years.
“Although the music on this extraordinarily sensitive guitar-duo recording transcends genre, there’s no resisting its mix of American jazz, acoustic blues, flamenco rhythm and Macedonian melody. Only two guitarists on the planet would come up with such a concoction, but Ivanovic and Haque (whose roots run to Yugoslavia and South Asia, respectively) play as if they’re speaking the same musical language. Some listeners might be tempted to consign any recording as genteel as this to background music, but that would mean missing the puckish stop-start rhythms of “Kalajdzisko Oro,” the mystical ambiance of “Gajdarsko Oro” and the free-form expressions of “Improv.”
Those who have heard the duo in concert probably will conclude that no recording could capture fully the sparks that fly between these two virtuosos. But this disc at least documents the distinctly cross-continental flavor of their restlessly innovative work.”
