Future IL Chapter meeting idea
With the low attendance that we've had at past monthly chapter meetings, I had a different idea for a future IL chapter meeting. How about having the IL chapter meeting as a once a year thing sometime during the summer months. The meeting should be held somewhere in the central part of the state so that members from southern IL as well as members from the Chicago area could attend if interested. I've had several e-mails from chapter members who live in the central/southern Il area who would be interested in attending meetings. Maybe having just one big IL Chapter meeting sometime this summer in central IL would work out better than the monthly Chicagoland area meetings we've been having? Anyone interested?

i take it that the jan. meeting didn't go so well. sorry, i was supposed to be there. the summer may be a better idea considering it'll be nicer and we can show off our vehicles. i'm open for either and would attend a feb. or march meeting if there was to be one.

Meeting
While Chapter Leader............we discussed many meeting locations.
Central Meeting?
May I suggest Danville? It's off I - 57 and off I - 74. It's central enough for all to meet in, along the Vermilion River and there are many places to meet and eat too.
Next?.......maybe meet in Matoon? It's just off I - 57 and route 16.
Chicagoland areas? Lets hear your thoughts

the guy that runs it is kind of funny. he only allows certain kind of vehicles on tuesday nights so i don't think us ford truck guys could get a spot that particular evening but if there is enough of us i would imagine we could get another night. i'm not sure when exactly it statrs up but i think they kick it off around the spring time.

Because of our work schedules, Carol and I only attend crise nites that are on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday nights. We usually go to Stake 'N Shake in Tinley Park on Friday nights and Lindys/Gerties in Oak Forest on Sunday nights.
