Pre-SWANK Christmas party invitations:

The Shorecrest Hotel, 1962 North Prospect Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53202.
The Summit Avenue part built 1924, the Prospect addition shown at the bottom of this page was built in 1928. This Martin
Tullgren & Sons design was one of the earliest high-rise developments on the lake bluff.



December 21, 1988 - My very first Christmas party, thrown with the lovely co-host Barbara Little.



December 17, 1989 - Second annual Christmas party in the Shorecrest Hotel.



December 16, 1990 - Third annual Christmas party in the Shorecrest Hotel. Invitation a bit fancy!



December 14, 1991 - Fourth annual Christmas party in the Shorecrest Hotel. OK...the lamest invitation I have ever made.



December 11, 1992 - Fifth annual Christmas party in the Shorecrest Hotel. The first color invitation, and the last at the
Shorecrest Hotel. You know how much color copies cost back 1992! We didn't even have CD players or cell phones then!



December 18, 1993 - Sixth annual Christmas party. New location in the Shorewood townhouse. This invitation was sent as a
post-card.



Shorewood townhouse, corner of Maryland & Menlow one block from UWM.


The Shorecrest Hotel Prospect addition built in 1928.
