[ Keep In Touch Luncheon ]

There is serious consideration of canceling the annual IDOT District One Keep in Touch Luncheon this year for lack of interest and resulting diminishing attendance. It is tentatively scheduled for October 6th at Chandler's in Schaumburg.

I personally would like to keep it going but would like an expression on this from those of you on my personal email list.

Please let me know if you would like to see it continue and would likely attend, or whether you probably wouldn't attend.

Please respond by June 10th.

Thanks. Roy Fonda
