Hi AFC members:

AFC party at John & Kevin’s
Sat., June 16, 2012; 3 p.m. until ???

Note for Parking: The Spring Awakening Music Festival will be in progress that weekend, and parking will be tight. City folk should take public transportation. Suburban folk should plan to car-pool and then walk several blocks. Observe special parking regulations to be sure you don’t need a neighborhood sticker. Tow trucks patrol frequently and the fines are high.
CTA Orange, Red, and Green line trains stop at Roosevelt just 2 blocks away.
Feel free to bring a dish but not required. Feel free to BYOB if you have a preferred libation but we will have plenty of beer and wine.
