Chicago Gathering

I am hosting a gathering of rodbuilders at my house in the suburbs of Chicago on November 9th 2013. We will start at about 10:00 in the morning and end sometime late afternoon. There is no fee to attend, I only ask that you bring some of your work.

If you are interested in attending please contact me at dmakauskas@gmail.com.

I've done this for about 5 years and it is a great way to meet some great people and see some outstanding rods.

Thanks,

Dan

Dan, I'm planning on attending, I only ask that your Dad doesn't abuse me too much.

Bill, I'm going to try and make it this year, I just need to see if I can get work to cooperate this year.

Looking forward to this gathering. I already requested the day off so I hope my boss hurry's up and signs off on it. I would hate to call in sick that day.
