Tina,
Wanted to formally follow-up from our conversation this past week;
sent you the materials for the referrals
in an earlier e-mail. I am CCing this to the organizing team to keep
them in the loop and provide context.
As I explained in our meeting this past week, I am a co-organizer
for
Chicago Net Tuesday,
a group of tech-minded
individuals looking to see how tech can impact the social good
(community, non-profits, etc). I wonder if
Greater
Southwest Development Corp would be willing to host our
November meeting (which would be Tuesday, November
8th, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, at the GSDC Office at
2630
W. 63rd Street) for us to discuss GSDC's work with
the
Smart
Communities program.
For my co-organizers - I do some contract/consulting work with GSDC,
and thought this would be a great way for
us to recruit outside of the downtown/north side area. GSDC's
offices are accessible via
CTA
Bus # 49, and is about
a forty-minute trip from downtown via the
Orange
Line. Drivers can either take the Ryan to 63rd and west to
Western
or the Stevenson to Ashland/Damen and south to 63rd, then west.
(Street parking is available)
If there are any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Otherwise, I will be sure to schedule this on the web site
within the next day or so.
Thanks,
Gordon
