The May 18th South Shore Workshop will be at the ABJ Community Services Center at 1818 E. 71st St, registration starts at 1 pm and the workshop will run until 5 pm.


While the Gray Line is not part of the Program Agenda of the South Shore Workshop; there will be many question and answer periods, and a walking tour of the 71st & Stony Island area.

During those times I have been invited by CATS to describe and demonstrate how the Gray Line would operate, answer questions and criticisms, and distribute project literature: http://tinyurl.com/8j9ey


Please reply with any comments or suggestions on how to make this a more profitable event for the South Shore community; and please plan to attend and participate if you can.
