This and That

Membership Dues Your annual membership dues are now past due. If you haven't paid yet, please do so at your earliest convenience.

"New" Meeting Location Again. Beginning July 10 we will meet at Faith Lutheran Church in Glen Ellyn. This was our long-time meeting place until late 2007, and the club's board recently decided that it makes good sense to return. The church is located at 41 N. Park Blvd. (just north of Roosevelt Road, on the east side of the street). Just like in the "old days," our pre-meeting dinner will take place at Beijing Restaurant, at 404 Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn, starting at 5:30 pm.
