Chicago Prius Group Earth Day Meet-n-Greet

**TonyPSchaefer** · 03-31-2008, 09:21 PM

On Sunday, April 27th, the Chicago Prius Group will hold an Earth Day meet-n-greet at Grossinger Toyota in Lincolnwood, IL. This event will run from 11:00am until 5:00.

Rough agenda:

11:00am - Noon
Informal meet-n-greet and open discussions
Rides with a Hypermiler potentially
Noon - 12:30
Welcomes and Introductions
1:00 - 2:00
Preparing your Prius for Summer (Wayne Mitchell)
2:30 - 3:30
Every Day is Earth Day (Tony Schaefer)
4:00
Closing remarks
Raffle potentially
Rides with a Hypermiler potentially

If you happen to be in the Chicagoland Area, consider coming out. If you're not, feel free to come anyway.

I'm going to try and get SWANCC (Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County) to come and hopefully bring a truck so we can all bring our recyclables.

If anyone has any ideas for other topics or would like to help organize the event or wants to help in any way, please let me know.

I will definitely be there. Hopefully there will be a big crowd. I am sure you are going to post it at greenhybrid and clean mpg.

I just wanted to make sure this will be on Sunday. The dealership isn't open on Sunday. Otherwise will this just be taking place at their parking lot?

Grossinger's Service Department is open on Sundays.

It is illegal in Illinois to sell vehicles on Sunday. For this reason, we try to have events on Sundays when people can come, ask questions, look around and know that no one is going to ask "what can we do to get you into one of these today?"

Thanks for the clarifying question.

Sounds great. I just purchased my Prius last week and I must say I've never been so happy. I've even had a few people interested in getting a Prius as their next car purchase. Anyhow, I will be there and Sunday is a perfect day. You don't have to deal with the naggy "Are you coming to trade that in"?

UGH

Hey Tony, I assume this is still scheduled, but I haven't heard anything lately, so I want to verify this before going on a long drive (if I have the time, but I'd like to for sure).

Sounds great. Meetings at Grossingers are always fun. See you then.

Tony ... Seems to me that the last M&G we had at Grossingers had some snacks & stuff. Is anything like that planned? BYO?

Hello,
I just found this Chicago section, I bought my new 08 Prius last Saturday from Elmhurst Toyota and I think I will come to this on Sunday, I live in Homewood, far south suburb, but hey,, In my new Prius, I don't care about the mileage or the gas to get to Lincolnwood

This meeting looks like fun!!!!!!!!!
