[il-talk] Transportation for board meeting

[Steven Hastalis]

Amtrak apparently has suspended service on Saturday, August 17, for the 
ongoing renovation of the track between Chicago and Saint Louis.  We 
therefore can use Peoria Charter Coach, Phone:  (800) 488-0572, 
www.peoriacharter.com.  It charges $38 one-way and $76 round-trip and 
operates from the Transit Center at the Amtrak station in Normal.  The last 
bus of the day leaves for Chicago at 7:00 PM.  It arrives at O'Hare at 9:45 
PM and continues to Midway.

Cordially,

Steve Hastalis
