After much discussion, the TRACS Board of Directors has decided to hold the 2009 Film Previews and Annual Meeting in the heart of Chicago on Saturday, September 19th & 20th. For everyone's convenience, this event was shortened to two days. The film previews will start early on Saturday morning. They will take place at the prestigious Museum of Contemporary Art located at 220 East Chicago Avenue. Two short blocks from the Museum is the Seneca Hotel located at 200 East Chestnut. The Seneca is a charming boutique hotel with a little kitchen in almost every room. All of Sunday's events will take place at the Seneca Hotel. More details... |
