May 12, 2008 from 5:30-6:30 at 1319 Chadwick Drive, Normal, where Earl and Carol Reitan have lived for the

past 26 years. The house was built during the last
energy crisis! (Note: some stairs involved.)

relationships and enhancing life. Ms. Reitan is also a former Mayor of the

Directions to 1319 Chadwick Drive: Go north on Towanda past College Ave.,
past the apartments and Hanson (both on the left) to Chadwick Drive, turn
west (left) on Chadwick for one block. The Reitan home is on the southwest
corner of Chadwick Drive and Bentley. (If you go north on Towanda to Fort
Jesse you have gone too far-turn around!) For help call Carol at 452-1681.
