[il-talk] Transportation for board meeting

[Steven Hastalis]

Those who may have bought Amtrak tickets to Normal either can refund them or 
get vouchers for future train rides.  Again, check out 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
