Hey all...
It's finally warm, and the Illinisoul events calendar is ready to heat up! I've gotten a few, but I'm sure there are more, and we want to keep the connections we made last summer going strong so that the 2010 reunion is even more fun than 2008. That said, please email any events you want to see full of Illini for me to post to our events page. I'll also send a weekly blast email if I have enough events to mention, so remind me of your weekly, monthly and annual functions, and I'll remind everyone else. I've had a request for info on any U of I Greek events, (see below for info on the "Greater" Beta chapter picnic on July 4th) so we can all come out with our tents and coolers like last year's Tau picnic.

To post your event, send me an email at hduncan1@msn.com. Please include event info in a word document or the body of the email...I need to be able to cut and paste it. I also need a jpeg of some type. Please try to give me a 2 week window of time to post, I'll try to get it up on the Monday before your event. See below for this week's Summer Stuff.
