This Chapter was founded as the "Illinois" Chapter. We have tried to hold each meeting in various locations to meet the needs of our members who have expressed an interest.

We are meeting in Gilman in March, April we could meet in Danville or Matoon.

We need to continue to hear your suggestions and comments to plan for a meeting in the area that meets the needs of the most members in any one location of the state.

If no one is willing to attend meetings set up in their areas and wish to make other plans, I make these suggestions.

If you are located closer to Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky or Indiana than the main stream Illinois locations, you could take part in their chapter events until we reach your area.

If members in the Central or Southern Illinois desire to establish a Southern Illinois Chapter, contact the site and suggest it. You would be required to fullfil the requirements of the site and follow the established rules, regulations, etc. of all chapters.

We have made efforts to seek members in Central and Southern Illinois to suggest meeting locations, cities, towns, etc. for some time. Making mention of where you live is only the first of many steps. We seek detailed information of area locations, parking capacity, easy access to state and federal highways to make it happen.

If you are willing and able to attend a meeting in Danville or Matoon speak up and we can better plan to meet your needs as well as the areas thus far selected.
