Our day begins with getting the conference room set up for our 4:pm meeting.  We will have a store where the Riders will be able to buy T-Shirts, pins, patches, decals, caps and etc.  I will try and post pictures from the set up to the meeting and to the evening activities at the Brick House.

So the day starts with a special welcome sign put up by the Hotel.

Dan Techman is the reason we continue to make Downers Grove our Headquarters in the Chicago area.  Dan and his staff bend over backwards to make our stay fantastic.

Following our 4pm Riders Meeting everyone gather in the lobby for a group picture, it was raining or we would went out side. 

After the group picture we were transported to The Brick House for a good meal and a good time getting to know everyone a little better.  Below are picture of the evening.
