[il-talk] Christmas Auction and Games Night

[Steve Hastalis]

Hello Fellow Federationists,

 

We will hold our annual Christmas Auction in conjunction with our Saturday,
December 8, Chicago Chapter Meeting.  We therefore will start the meeting at
12 noon, an hour earlier than usual.  We will begin the auction shortly
after adjourning the general business meeting.  We will meet at our usual
location,  Exchequer Pub and Restaurant, 226 South Wabash, Chicago.

 

In past years, we have auctioned off wonderful home-made baked goods, gift
certificates, as well as many new and gently used items.

 

We held our first Christmas Auction in 1975, and it has become one of the
Chicago Chapter's most successful fundraisers.

 

Come and enjoy the fellowship!  Bring lots of items.  Bid high and often,
and contribute to the success of this activity.

 

Then, if you are like me, you will be looking for something to spice up your
January.  It is always difficult to face that annual "Seasonal affective
Disorder" (sad) January.  Right?

 

Well, thanks to the Chicago Chapter, Seasonal Affective Disorder will be
considerably diminished within our ranks.  And so one might ask, how can
these seasonal woes be avoided?  The answer is Games Night!

 

Who is eligible to come?  Anyone anybody wishes to bring.

 

What does one do at Games Night?  Play games of your choice, eat, drink and
be merry.  So come one, come all.  Bring your appetite!  Bring your favorite
games!  Board games, card games, head games, and if nothing else works, you
can ditch the party and watch football on the big screen.  Oh yes, social
intercourse is also welcome.

 

When and Where is this festive occasion?  Just like our chapter meeting,
Games Night will be held at the venerable Exchequer Pub and Restaurant, 226
South Wabash, Chicago.  The date is January 12, same day as our next chapter
meeting,) and the time will be from 4:00-8:00 P.M.  

; 

Finally, Why should you attend?  There are all kinds of reasons for this
one.  You will be breaking up those January blahs.  You will be helping the
Chicago Chapter of NFBI.  And, you will have the chance to sample some of
the best pizza, salad and soda Chicago has to offer.  The cost for this
event is $25.00.  For this fee, you will get unlimited soda, salad, and
pizza that Roger Ebert cannot resist.

 

So, if you wish to attend this extravaganza, You must make your reservation
with David Meyer by Tuesday, January 8, 2018.  We will not accept
reservations after that date.  He can be reached by phone at 708-606-7091 or
by email at: datemeyer at mysero.net.

 

So, come on and join us for some great games, savy socializing and more.  We
look forward to seeing you there.

 

Cordially,

 

Steve Hastalis

 

Chicago Chapter President
