Subject: [IL-Talk] 2023 National Convention social and caucus

Greetings fellow federationists,

In just a few short days we will gather in Houston for our national convention. The plan for the Illinois caucus and social were discussed at the affiliate board meeting on June 19 but for those who were not at the meeting but plan to attend the in-person convention, here are a few logistics:

1. The Illinois caucus is Monday, July 3 at 7:00am in Lanier 342.
Please plan to be in the room as we will cover some convention logistics and those who have purchased banquet tickets and would like to sit with Illinois will turn in their banquet ticket.
2. Michelle Ault and Francisco Chang have graciously agreed to exchange our banquet tickets. Please bring your banquet ticket to the caucus and be prepared to let Michelle and/or Francisco know if you have dietary restrictions for your meal. It is important that you bring the ticket to the caucus, as Michelle and Francisco will not have the bandwidth to locate each individual. When the tickets have been exchanged and we have tables, Michelle and/or Francisco will distribute tickets or give them to me, as I will be centrally located under the Illinois flag.
3. We will have a social at 9:30pm on Sunday, July 2. The location is TBD but please reply to me off list or text me if you are interested in attending.

That is all that I recall from the meeting. Please reach out if you have questions. Otherwise, I will see you in Houston. Safe travels to all!
