(Email to Chicago Chapter President Jim Hill)

The Chicago Chapter covers the whole Chicago area and its suburbs. It has 60 active households.

The chapter holds about 4 or 5 meetings during the year. These consist of discussions with speakers of various cultures; get-to-gethers with visitors from other lands; ethnic dinners and shopping excursions, and other international awareness activities.

Each year members participate in the Great Decisions program sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association. These consisted of eight weekly discussions of current events. Resource guests - familiar with the topic at hand - are invited to each meeting. The group also preceeds each meeting with a pot luck dinner at members' homes.

A number of members have hosted foreign visitors from Eastern European countries.

Study tours to Turkey in 1999 and and to Ecuador for the millenium celebration were led by two members of this chapter.
