sadly, you're never actually in chicago.

[Roger W.]

Well you never come out to Rockford either - then again nobody else does...We are thinking Panera Bread in the loop (Chicago!) for June. I just need to get more details together.

Which Panera bread? I might also suggest to look slightly outside of the loop that would have free parking. There is a Panera bread (if Panera is a sticking point) on Clybourn between Cortland and Webster that has parking, although it can be busy at certain times of the day.

No, Panera is not a sticking point - I don't like trying to have it in a restaurant but, it was a suggestion and I was tole they validate so the parking would be free (or validated - not precisely free, anyway...). So, another Panera in Chicago is fine, so is any other appropriate place to meet.

What are the demographics of your membership (home and work locations and schedules)? How many members would attend if the location were somewhat centralized?

 

Anyone for Chinatown? There is an ultra-modern Chinese tea house on Archer that might work, for example.

The near northside always did the best. We are going to try somewhere in Chicago (proper). I like Chinatown but, it is a haul for a lot of people. I come out from near Rockford so no one has a right to moan about the drive (I know - I'm just overly pen enthusiastic). We are mostly going to me in Hillside but, we are going to move it around.

I would like to be a member of the Chicago Pen Club. I am a pen collector and enthusiast and I would like to contact other like minded people. I live in Skokie, just north of Chicago. Perhaps the Club could meet at the Westin where the Chicago Pen Show is held. It is centrally located near expressways and most avid pen people know where it is. Let me know whatever site you decide upon. I am Perry.Abrams@hotmail.com.

[southshorecarol]

Just let me know when and where, I'll try to be there.

I'd really love to join/attend a meeting of this! How about some place actually IN Chicago, and easily accessible by public transportation?

 

I wouldn't call the Westin "easily accessible"--it's a good 2 hours by bus & train from Hyde Park, where I live. It's ok once a year, on a Sunday; otherwise...

Alright - I'm looking at June 12th at 1PM Panera Bread at 2070 North Clybourn - CHICAGO. It is a week earlier than normal as the next week is Fathers Day. I hope all of you that want to meet in CHICAGO can make it and I will be there.

I will be in Boston that week, sorry. So normally is it the third Sunday?
