Sarah and Kerry Wood

There will be a range of things to choose to do this Tuesday:

†Good guy Kerry Wood and his wife Sarah will receive the Daily Point of Light award at a Chicago Cultural Center breakfast from the Points of Light — reportedly the world’s largest volunteer organization.

†WGN Radio mainstays Lou “Mr. Fix It” Manfredini and Steve Cochran will headline the Gale Street Inn’s latest “Bar Talk” event, 6 p.m. Tuesday at 4916 N. Milwaukee — with funds from the dinner going to support the Leaning Tower YMCA.

†There should be laughs a-plenty Tuesday night at the Hubbard Inn for the River North eatery’s “Chicago Conversations” program: “The Second City: First in Funny.”

Veteran broadcasting pro Monroe Anderson and former Pritzker Military Library prez Ed Tracy will host a panel that will include Chicago improv and comedy legend Sheldon Patinkin and Second City’s marketing director Robin Hammond.
