Subject: FVWWC - New General Meeting Location
From: John Gesiakowski


Hi everyone,

 

I wanted to follow up on Michael's announcement at the January General meeting that our February General meeting will not be at Bethany Lutheran.  The meeting will be at our new location, the Batavia VFW Post 1197.

 

We will be moving our library cabinet, its contents and our workbench this Saturday, January 24th.  We will start at Bethany at 10:00am. We will be packing the contents of the library into boxes, then we will load them and the library cabinet on to a trailer.  We will then start setting up things at the Batavia Overseas VFW post around noon.

 

At the Batavia VFW post, besides putting the library contents back into the cabinet.  We will work on laying out details on the areas SIGs will meet. Share & Tell will be set up, where the presenter will be and where we will set up the chairs for the General Meeting.  In addition, we will work out the logistics for the audio/video equipment set up and for our refreshments.

 
We ask your patience, we know we could encounter some bumps which will need to be worked out.
The VFW is just over a mile from Bethany. The address is 645 S River St, Batavia, IL 60510
 
The building is located on Rt. 25 south of Wilson Ave, on the west side of the road.  There is ample parking for everyone.  The building is on the north side of the parking lot.  You should enter using the front entrance which faces Rt. 25. 
 
Here is a link to some photos of the meeting room.
 

We will be sending out several emails, reminding everyone of the location change, between now and the February meeting.  If you are in contact with other members, beside at meeting, please make them aware of the move.

Overall, the VFW has been fantastic to work with, and the Board is extremely excited for this next chapter. Thanks for your support and hope to see you all at our February General Meeting in our new location.

 
Respectfully,
 
John Gesiakowski
