The CSAGSI January 31, 1998 meeting at the Riverside, Ill., township hall
was attended by 160 members and guests and featured an interesting travel panel
discussion by members, President Joe Hartzel, Rosemarie Kral Kenny,
Barbara and Charlie Vlk, Barbara and Robin Rogus.
Each shared some special experiences of their recent trips, plus tips on information
on packing and what to take on trips to central Europe.
The travelers experiences ranged from group tours to independent Euro Rail travels.
All seemed to share the same very emotional experiences that came with connecting
with ancestral villages and distant relatives.
A busy hospitality committee of Mary Ellen Panoch Zuro, Mary Sherry, Gladys Wheeler,
Joan Miller, Frances Michael, Mary Ann Brock, and Chris Visconti staffed either
the registration table or the lovely refreshment table.
