Chicagoland herf on the 13th of June.

Ginseng will be in the area for some seminars and will be up for a get together on the 13th, let's show some midwest hospitality and get out the BOTLs and SOTLs for some food, cigars and comraderie. I'm thinking 8 to 8 cigars in Villa Park as it's centrally located and there's a Brazilian restaurant within walking distance, FUSION FIRE IS NOW LOCATED AT 541 W. NORTH AVE IN VILLA PARK, about ten minutes away and the same owners. So all plans are still the same, they're number is 630-832-0877. :whistling: "8 TO 8 CIGARS,300 E. ST CHARLES RD., VILLA PARK, ILLINOIS, 60181. Phone # 630- 993- 1234.

Wilkey will be at a seminar that day, not sure when it's over, but 8 to 8 is straight west of Evanston. I figure a cigar dinner at Fusion Fire and right across the street is the cigar lounge. I'll get more info as time goes on. Hope our Wisconsin and Indiana members show up, Iowa isn't that far away. :thumbs:

I'm really looking forward to meeting some of the Chicagoland area members. It's been quite a few years since I've traveled to the City of the Big Shoulders and I'm pleased to have the opportunity to come back. I can get out of the Friday conference as early as early mid-afternoon. My Thursday evening schedule may be open as well but for sure I will be manning the poster presentation session until 6:00 PM-ish.

Many thanks to Claudio for extending his gracious help with my trip and this herf get-together.

Best,
Wilkey

I am pretty sure we are headed out of town Friday for a long weekend. Thursday night would probably work if anyone is up for it. Where is the seminar going to be? I am in Mount Prospect.

[Ginseng]
