     This week, I was invited to a great series of events hosted by DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) Chicago chapter. DIFFA is a “not-for-profit fundraising and grant making foundation that distributes funds to Chicago area HIV/AIDS service agencies that provide direct service, preventive education and outreach to people who are HIV positive, living with AIDS or at risk for infection.” This is an incredible group that over the past 15 years has granted more than $38 million to hundreds of organizations. DIFFA is made up of volunteers from the fashion industry, interior design, furnishings and architecture so it makes perfect sense that my buddy, fashion designer, Maria Pinto will serve as the Honorary Chair by designing a table for 20 people with Believe Tables, featuring 10 of Chicago’s top Residential Interior Designers!  Dining by Designs is a 3-night event starting this Thursday (Nov 5th) and ends on Saturday night with the annual DIFFA Gala.  
             oThurs, Nov 5th  – Cocktails by Design – spectators have the chance to view close to 1,000 tables and meet with table designers
o       Fri, Nov 6th – Public Viewing with exposure to the art open to the general public
o       Sat, Nov 7th – Table Hop and Taste: an amazing selection of some of Chicago’s best restaurants for an exciting food and wine tasting.  
o       Sat, Nov 7th – Dining by Design GALA Dinner – a chance for sponsors to invite colleagues, friends, and clients to experience the event and dine in the table settings
