CELEBRATING THE SEASON WITH 15 FASCINATING FACES OF 2023
Each December we feature 15 Fascinating Faces of the Year, highlighting west suburban residents who are making a difference in the lives around them. Each featured resident was nominated by our readers and selected by our editorial team. Each story is inspiring and touching in its own unique way. We are honored to announce our list of 15 Fascinating Faces for 2023 and are
grateful to be given this opportunity to share these stories.
