Cocktail Reception Hosted by Houseal Lavigne Associates

Metropolis-level sponsor, Houseal Lavigne Associates, will host a cocktail
reception for conference attendees at Medici's in Uptown Normal on
Thursday, September 23rd. Join us for appetizers and beverages in what
promises to be a memorable evening of connecting and reconnecting with
friends and colleagues. Medici’s is a one-of-a-kind space that has been a
vital part of the redevelopment of Uptown Normal.

Medici’s façade is a recreation of the historic storefront destroyed by a
fire in the 1980s. The interior of Medici includes a two-story tree,
Amish-made tables, and amazing brick work. The reception will occur in
their private banquet area complete with bar and outdoor patio. Medici’s
is within walking distance of the conference hotel.

The event is complimentary for conference attendees but pre-registration
is required. To reserve your space, please email your name to Debi
Nechleba at dnechleba@hlplanning.com by September 1, 2010.

Join UPPSA & SUPA and Active Transportation at the Boulevard Tour!

On August 29th, SUPA & UPPSA will be volunteering for Active Transportation Alliance, working their lakefront tour bike ride. It will be relatively easy work, as in most likely guiding bikers or passing out water. We're doing this to help build a relationship between ourselves and Active Transportation. But not only that, if we get 15 volunteers by Friday, August 13th to commit we could get $150 dollars donated to our student groups! What a great way to help your student organization!

The Boulevard Lakefront Tour is a fundraiser for the nonprofit Active Transportation Alliance, Chicagoland’s voice for better biking, walking and transit.


To sign up and receive your free T-shirt please go to www.uppsa.org and scroll down on the first page to RSVP!
