DAK & John (and any Chicago-land lurkers),

I got the same contact number for CBN as Stuart from my Chicago people gave me: 773-878-4421. Why don't you post if you find anything definite about the July meeting.

Can't vouch personally for the meetings, but my Chicago friends say its reputable. Let me know.
