General Meeting Information
Chapter meetings are held every month, September through May at Centuries and Sleuths bookstore in Forest Park, Illinois. Our host, Augie Aleksy, graciously provides coffee, but we’re welcome to bring cookies, or small snacks if we want. There are lots of great restaurants nearby to continue the socializing after the meeting.
In addition, chapter members in other cities hold occasional meetings. These will be announced in Clues, the chapter newsletter, as well as here on the website.
