MODEL UN TEAM TAKES SECOND
The Hinsdale Central Model UN team took second place at the recent Chicago International Model United Nations conference, which drew more than 1,100 students from around the world.

REAL ESTATE FIRM TO SHORTEN NAME
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group has announced that the firm will become Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago in January.
The change will occur across the company’s 25 offices serving Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin. The firm’s executive trio of Diane Glass, chief operating officer; Mark Pasquesi, president of brokerage; and Joe Stacy, senior vice president and general sales manager, made the announcement Dec. 4.
“This change has been led by our clients and brokers,” Pasquesi said. “When homeowners and home buyers talk to us, they call us Berkshire Hathaway. We listened to that. And we want to convey that Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices is who we are, and that the Chicago metro area is where we call home.”
Consumers will begin to see Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago on the familiar cabernet signs. The biggest change will be online as the firm moves to a new digital address, BHHSChicago.com.
