Hello Chicagoland EFA!

Our regular monthly meetings are held the fourth Wednesday of the month, except for November and December. Due to the latest COVID surge, chapter meetings will be held online through the end of the year. Hyperlocal meetings may still be held in person, however (if interested in being an organizer or attending a meeting in your neighborhood or suburb, email us to find out more).

Meetings are free for EFA members in good standing, and guests of members (or those with a guest membership) are also most welcome—but registration is both required and limited.

We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Kandy Hopkins, Amy Spungen, and Tamaal Rodgers
EFA Chicagoland Chapter Co-coordinators
