Hello, <BR>The votes are overwhelmingly cast for September 14th as the big day! Julie, Bobby? <BR>Can you check on that date? Gretchen, haven't heard back from you, either. <BR>Capo...can you come in September? <BR>Jeff, Marsha, please let me know about this date as well! <BR>I would love to accumulate a brief bio of you all to share in advance. Please include only information you are comfortable sharing. Thank you to those who have already done so. Jim even sent pictures! Great job, Jim, and thanks! <BR>Please email me and help keep this post alive that as many Fodorites as possible will know of the event! All are welcome! <BR>We should have a good turnout. Chicago Fodorites...are ya' comin' our way? <BR>Thanks! <BR>Gloria <BR>

Topping for Gloria and all the others with my best regards from Switzerland! <BR>Won't be there though... <BR> <BR>

I see this is on a Friday, rather than a Saturday at this point?

Ooops! Meant to say the weekend of September 14th! The plan is for the 15th. Nice catch. Jim! I am looking forward to meeting you and your wife that evening! <BR>Ursula, thank you for topping this for me. Are you sure we couldn't persuade you to join us? <BR>Gloria <BR>

Gloria: Thanks for "inviting" me. <BR>The point is, I live in Switzerland <BR>and September 14th is a big day for me too, but at work. Can't miss that, no way. <BR>Would be nice though to meet you all. But I plan to return next year to NYC for a week or so. Maybe, then....
