****We are now at 70 adults and two kids. Anyone wishing to come beyond that will go on the wait list.

Please check the list below and make sure that I have the right number of people for you. If your plans change, please let me know as soon as possible! Also, if I don't have your Brethren user ID listed below, please let me know. It would be easier for me to track everything by Brethren user ID.

Annual Northern Illinois (and surrounding states) Brethren Mid Winter Gathering, 2016 Edition!!!

Saturday, January 30th, 11:30AM
Real Urban BBQ, Oakbrook, IL

Everyone enjoyed Real Urban BBQ in Vernon Hills in 2014, so I thought that we would go to their newest location in Oakbrook, IL for 2016. They have a back room that we will use so we will have some privacy.

Jeff, the owner, and Chef Dean have put together a great package for us. A three meat platter and a soft drink for $15! Chef Dean is planning a special meat option for us as well.

Please post in this thread if you can make it. The room will hold at least 60. Let's fill it up!

I have to give them a final number a few days prior.
