Please check back soon- The next Illinois Business & Investor Forum will be September 2008.
Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to announce below the presenters for the upcoming Forum on May 20, 2008. Also joining us as moderator of the May 20th event will be veteran investor Bob Geras, President of LaSalle Investments, Inc. I have also been working with many of you over the last several months to prepare and move forward with an opportunity for deal syndication amongst participants of the Forum, and I am pleased to be conducting an interactive discussion on those activities immediately following the investment presentations. For your convenience, the Forum will have a total of 5 live interactive venues where you can join fellow investors for networking and previewing investment opportunities including: Downtown Chicago, IL; Peoria, IL; Madison, WI; River Falls, WI and West Chicago, IL. I certainly hope you will be able to join us. Sincerely,
Dennis Serio
