I stopped by Lauderdale Lakes Chicago this afternoon for a brief meeting.

A few updates:

First, looks like Friday’s golf outing will be an afternoon event, wrapping up around 5:00 p.m. and followed by the evening social at Lauderdale Lakes Chicago. Hoping to hold the golf outing at the club conveniently located across the street from Lauderdale Lakes Chicago.

Second, there is a possibility that Skiers Choice will have a 2013 model Supra, 2013 model Moomba, and Supra’s Rockstar wake boat on display for the Friday evening social event.

Third, Saturday’s day on the water will launch in the morning from Fox River Preserve and have its final stop late in the afternoon at Fox River Grove beach. There will be meet up locations throughout the day along the river for anyone arriving late.

For those needing lodging, there are a number of hotel choices in the general area. The Hampton Inn in nearby McHenry is close by, located approximately 4 miles from Lauderdale Lakes Chicago. I will be asking for a discounted group rate.

Lauderdale Lakes Chicago will be setting up a Facebook account to handle invites and communicate event information. In addition, Skiers Choice will be making announcements and providing information.

Keep in mind that the final round of the Rockstar WWA Wakeboard World Championships presented by Supra will take place on Sunday. Event venue is Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, located about thirty-seven miles northeast of Lauderdale Lakes Chicago.

Will keep you posted as reunion weekend details and more information come together.

Reunion dates: Friday, August 17 – Sunday, August 19.
