Why don't some of our Chicago Chapter members check out Laura's restaurant 
and make reservations for a meal together some evening!
                    Bonne Appetite,

I neglected to mention that I think Laura's restaurant is open from around 8 
AM every day until 7 PM, but it would be good to check.
