Subject: [elky] * Chicagoland Meets, 2011?
After seeing the New York Monte Carlo Club in action at their August gathering
(Spiedie Fest, Binghamton NY) during my Nor'Easter Trek road trip, I'm not
willing to "give up" on Chicagoland events. It seems, sometimes, that when we
get together, people say, "We should do this more often" ... but that rarely
happens. Perhaps it is time we make "more often" happen. After all, getting
together with people IS the POINT....
While the MidSummer Chitown Gathering is done after 3 years due to
fast-dwindling attendance (65 in 2008, 20 in 2009, 16 in 2010), let's try
something different. I have ideas for "Meet'n'Greets":
Saturday, October 16, 2010
..."Fall Colors Drive"
...Galena IL/Franklin Grove IL
...go west from Chicagoland to Galena via US Route 20; return through Franklin
Grove via the Lincoln Highway
Saturday, April 16, 2011
..."Taxes Done"
...Dwight IL (where IL RT 47 and US RT 66 "cross paths")
...(possibly) find a business that will give us ~10% off food to "eliminate"
the tax
Saturday, July 30, 2011
..."Cold Treat"
...Elgin IL (near US RT 20)
...(possibly) find a restaurant that will give ~10% off ice cream, floats,
malts, shakes, etc., to "beat the heat"
Saturday, October 15, 2011
..."October Fest"
...Volo IL
...visit the Volo Auto Museum
If people are interested in meeting regularly, perhaps we could name some
"home" cruise nights....
So ... what do you think?
Are YOU interested in Chicagoland Meet'n'Greets in 2011?
