The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

This is a special meetup announcement that is asking for every member to indicate (in their RSVP) what location they live in. We are only asking for general areas and not for addresses. There will be 8 choices to choose from. In your RSVP, please indicate the number first, which will represent the area most convenient for you to attend future meetings and then any other comments you might have.

***Please note that this is not to replace the location of the current monthly business meetings. Rather, this is designed to help the group determine if there is a desire for satellite Libertarian of Chicago groups that would feed into the main group; more of a hub and spoke system.

Here are your choices. Please choose the one that best suits your needs. A follow up meeting announcement will be sent when totals are tallied shortly after February 1st.

1. Lakeview/Lincoln Park/Lincoln Square area
2. Edison Park/Jefferson Park area
3. Rogers Park/Edgewater area
4. North or South Austin/Western Chicago
5. Loop
6. Bridgeport area
7. South West Chicago/Midway area
8. South/South East Chicago

We do realize that the ares available may not be perfect, but we need to start somewhere in this research.

The hope is that if we can get enough people to attend satellite meetings, hopefully at least every other month; we can then have one person act as the representative for that group who can attend the main business meetings at least once a quarter for updates about activities and fund raising.

Thanks in advance for your participation. The information we gather will really help the party to expand and offer better choices for our members in the fight for freedom and liberty.

The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

All ages can attend.

The Chicago Libertarian Party starts its business meetings at 7pm. The business typically takes about an hour to get through, after which we stay around for a couple of hours socializing.

This meetup is a social gathering only, we will not have a business meeting. We will however be looking for volunteers to help petition during the next couple of months to get the LP on the November Ballot.

Feel free to show up any time after 6:00. The business portion of the meeting is open for everyone to attend. Now is a great time to get involved, as we work begin the groundwork for local elections in 2010.

The Lincoln Restaurant is near the intersection of Lincoln, Irving Park and Damen. There is parking, and I believe that the Irving Park brown line station is open again.
