All right everybody. Once more (this time with FEELING):

Midwest Meetup
October 7, 2006
Chicago, Illinois

CAF CHICAGO ARCHITECTURE RIVER CRUISE 10:30 A.M.
Meet at 10:30 at the SE corner of the Michigan Avenue Bridge and Wacker under the blue awning. This event costs $27.00 and you need to buy your own tickets. Advance purchase is recommended. The River Cruise starts at 11:00 and lasts 90 minutes.

PICNIC IN MILLENIUM PARK 2:00 P.M.
Meet at 2:00 p.m. at the Park Café. Bring your own picnic or you can purchase a "picnic bag to go" at the Park Café.



If rain is predicted we'll skip the picnic and meet for lunch somewhere - probably the Park Grill next to the Park Café. We should have a better idea about the weather next week so we can alert everyone to the plan. If the picnic is on Andi or I will post contact information for ordering picnics.
