[il-talk] good news

[Patti Gregory-Chang]

I have 2 pieces of good news.

1.  We received our $3,000 grant from the Lindon trust for our 2009-2010 
Freedom Link program.

2.  Denise and I met today with congressman Quigley.  It was a favorable 
meeting particularly with regard to Quiet Cars.  He hasn't agreed to 
cosponsor but I would not be at all surprised if he did.  Considering that 
we did not get any follow up with Ralm Emanuel this appointment which lasted 
longer than expected is especially awesome.  Thanks to Syed for setting it 
up.
