If you would like me to arrange a group dinner for the Wright Chatters who will be in town for Wright Plus this year, send me and email (click on the button below) and I will add you to the list. Please put "WP Dinner" in the subject line.

We did this last year at the Carleton Hotel and it worked out nicely.

Maybe Mr. Harding would consider showing the Chatters his progress on the Davenport House sometime on Friday afternoon?

And then he and his wife could join us again for dinner, like last year. We had a very enjoyable time that evening!

Paul-

Please put Christine and I on the list of Wright Chatters for dinner on May 20th. Last year's get-togethers were such a great time, and when a group of us met in Cleveland recently we had a similarly wonderful experience.

And yes, it would be great to have Mr. and Mrs. Harding join us again this year, whether or not we are able to visit with them at the Davenport Residence (which would be awesome if it happens!).

And come to think of it, it would also be great to have "outside in", John Eifler, join us as well to fill us all in on the tremendous progress he has made with the process of bringing the Ross Residence back from the abyss it had fallen into. While we are in town, we plan at some point to make the trek up to Glencoe to see what we can of the Ross House, without the purple trim, the overgrown landscape and the wart that was the vestibule additon. Can't wait.

Any possiblity you could join us, John?

We will open up Davenport for fellow Wright Chat members for the very first housewarming. This distinguished group will be the first to see the restored Kitchen and bathrooms. We will have a wine and cheese reception at 3 pm Friday afternoon. The only caveat will be, that since the floors are 110 years old, we will furnish booties for your wearing pleasure. Please RSVP by sending me a PM.

My wonderful, very patient wife, will be in attendance for both the reception and dinner at the local restaurant.

Paul-

How very gracious of you and your wife to invite us into your home. Since the PM feature here is not enabled at the present time, please accept this message as the RSVP for myself and my significant other, Christine. We are so looking forward to seeing the rewards of your considerable efforts. See you in May, and thanks again.

Deke-

It was great to meet you in Oak Park last year; the Wright Chat dinners we had were great fun. Sorry to hear that you will not be able to join us again this May, but maybe we will see you in Philly in September at the Conference, or next year in Oak Park?

You midwesterners have all the fun...

I hope to get out to a Wright event at some point this year, work allowing. Maybe Philly is an option. I've wanted to see the Barnes Collection, but understand it's going to be closed up this summer for it's move downtown.
