Yes folks, the ANA Worlds Fair of Money will be back in Chicago -- in 2013, for three years in a row!

So I'm putting my "money" where my mouth is, based on my 2011 Fall/Winter Curry's Chronicle letter to the editor. I'm putting out feelers now asking:

1. Who is willing to help organize a regional meeting?
2. And what can you do, and commit to 100%, to help?

Needless to say, I'm nervous. Sure I'm planning way ahead -- but I've never done anything like this before!

I'm happy to spearhead because I live 40 miles, give or take, from Rosemont, IL. But, boy oh boy, do I need additional brain- and manpower because I DO NOT want to let down the C4OA or the beloved folks at Southgate.

HELP! :S Calling all early birds and Midwesterners! Let's start planning now!

Though I think the C4OA has "been there and done that," this speaks to how important it is to keep it up, to be persistent, and to get involved!

I just want to add that I'm not officially spearheading the 2013 Chicago meeting. Just trying to take the bull by the horns and encourage interest, volunteers, and how-to knowledge.

I'll be in Philadephia 2012 and Chicago 2013, 2014, and 2015. I have invited Dick Osburn to speak in Philadephia to which, he has agreed. I'll also be setting up meeting room in Philly. I'll also be seeking further guidance from our trusted leader and by 2013, hopefully be able set it up myself. But, this certainly doesn't mean that I won't be accepting assitance.
