Hey John, I figured. ONE of these days we have to meet up again! I hope, anyway..... ******************** SETTING UP TwentyEleven *********** MidSummer Chitown Gatherings First ... 07/26/2008 ... record-high 65 people: http://pics.projectmonte.com/album/12498 Final ... 07/24/2010 ... 16 people: http://picasaweb.google.com/knightfan26917/3rdAnnualMidSummerChitownGathering#slideshow/5497685409301953362 I saw the NYMCC in action in person last August (Spiedie Fest; Binghamton NY). They also have awesome gatherings in NJ, MD & eastern PA. I've noticed other regional groups (FGMCC western PA/Ohio; various regions of ChevyTalk and MCSS boards; etc.) have successful meets during the year. In ALL cases, some people traveled HOURS for the event. So ... next year, let's make "more often" happen in THIS area ... MARK YOUR CALENDARS and JOIN US! Since NONE of these MEET'n'GREETS have ANY FEES, you can attend FOR LESS $ than REGISTRATION COSTS of some car shows/events. ___SATURDAY MEET'n'GREETS___ "TAXES DONE" ...04/16/2011 ...~11:30a to ~3p @ Old Route 66 Family Restaurant 105 S Old Rt 66 (near IL RT 47) Dwight IL "MAY MADNESS" ...05/21/2011 ...~11:30a to ~3p @ Lincoln Way Cafe 137 N Elm St (IL RT 38 / Lincoln Highway) Franklin Grove IL "COLD TREAT" ...07/30/2011 ...~11a to ~9p @ Culver's 280 Randall Rd (between Hopps & McDonald Rds) S Elgin IL 60177 [...OR...] @ Colonial Cafe 600 S Mclean Blvd (2 blocks S of US RT 20, near Elgin Community College) Elgin IL 60123 ...THEN, 2 cruise nights: Beef Villa 1225 W Spring St (S Elgin; E of Randall Rd) [AND] Nanner's 1900 McDonald Rd (S Elgin; off Randall Rd) "OCTOBER FEST" ...10/15/2011 ...10a-~4p @ Volo IL Auto Museum 27582 Volo Village Rd ___WEEKLY IL CRUISE NIGHTS___ SUN = Elgin @ Rookies 2486 Bushwood Dr ...N of I-90, off Randall Rd = Schaumburg @ Culver's 1800 Wise Rd ...N of US RT 20 MON = St Charles @ Rookies 1545 W Main St (IL RT 64) ...E of Randall Rd = Hoffman Estates @ Barrington Square Mall 2300 W Higgins Rd (IL RT 72) ...E of Barrington Rd WED = W Dundee @ Maxwell's 551 S 8th St (IL RT 31) ...N of I-90, S of IL RT 72 = St Charles @ Goody's 2057 Lincoln Way (IL RT 38/Lincoln Highway) ...E of Randall Rd THU = Elgin @ Mr C's 1350 E Chicago St (IL RT 19, at Shales Parkway) ...E of IL RT 25, W of IL RT 59, N of US RT 20 = Geneva @ Courthouse 210 S 6th St ...W of IL RT 31, S of IL RT 38/Lincoln Highway = Carpentersville @ Luke's 2 Lw Besinger Dr (off IL RT 25) ...N of IL RTs 68 & 72 FRI = S Elgin @ McDonald's 453 Redington Dr (off Randall Rd) ...between Silver Glen & McDonald Rds, S of US RT 20 SAT = S Elgin @ Beef Villa 1225 W Spring St ...E of Randall Rd = S Elgin @ Nanner's 1900 McDonald Rd (off Randall Rd) ...S of US RT 20 Cort | 37.m.IL.pigValve.pacemaker | 5 Monte Carlos + 1 Caprice Classic | *** MCs.CC + CHD.models.HO.legos.RadioShows + RoadTrips.us66 = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "T-tops down in my Cutlass Supreme" ...
