February 9th, 2008 Meeting is at Sedgebrook...

... again, located at 901 Milwaukee Avenue in Lincolnshire on the east side of Milwaukee Avenue (Route 21) between Half Day Road (Route 22) and Aptakisic Road from 10 AM to Noon. Sedgebrook is directly across Milwaukee Avenue from the new Barnes and Noble store.

Enter through the main gate and tell the guard in the gatehouse you are with the Elderhostel meeting in the Clubhouse. Turn right past the gatehouse, and drive to the parking lot on the left. Enter the building and tell the receptionist you are with the Elderhostel and get directions to the music room. You will be asked to sign in.

Following the meeting, some of us will be eating in Sedgebrook's cafe (dutch treat) and there are also eateries across the street from Sedgebrook.

NICE Meeting and Writers' Group (12/8/07)

Don welcomed the Elderhostel Alumni group to Sedgebrook, the magnificent retirement community facility in Lincolnshire where this meeting was held...



... and then the group of 18 or so listened intently...



... as our leader, Pete, introduced our speaker, Selby, who informed us of the groups and activities available to seniors in Lake County.



Then several members spoke of the Elderhostel programs they have participated in and answered questions pertaining to them, followed by Buzz and Alice who eloquently detailed their trips to Israel.



A tasty lunch at the Sedgebrook Cafe ended the morning's activities...



... and the members of the memoir writing group proceeded to Don's unit for our meeting/sharing session. (Here we are sharing some delicious Swedish desserts he concocted.)
