I started a discussion in the Events section of the Message Board to see if we want to include the Chicago Auto Show as part of our activity before the Annual Meeting dinner. Auto Show runs from 2/10 to 2/19.

Please VOTE in the Polls section on the date for attending the 2012 Chicago Auto Show the same weekend as the Annual Meeting! Tell us what you would prefer so we can schedule the Auto Show Meetup.

Given the good response we have for the Annual Meeting, and the limited interest in the Chicago Auto Show, it has been decided to leave the location of the Annual Meeting at Broconi's Restaraunt in Naperville and schedule a meetup at the Chicago Auto Show on Sunday 2/12. Thank you to all who provided feedback and suggestions as they were all great ideas and helped us with possible future ideas for events.

Hi Steve & Fellow Members:
Did follow-up in regard to Quartino's, (Ontario and State in Chicago) (maybe for future meeting). Valet parking is $12, meeting space is available on main floor for up to 20 and on 2nd floor, as well. Julie Jensen is contact person for private meetings and her number is 312 698-5000. Ciao for now.

I may have to do a "last minute" back out! :-(
