Illini Regional -- May 25-31, Champaign IL

Thanks to everyone who traveled to Champaign during Memorial Day week to play in our Unit's annual regional. Attendance was up this year and we continue to hear compliments about the Hilton Conference Center and the two adjacent hotels, the Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites. If you haven't been to the regional in Champaign the past few years (or ever), we hope you can join us next year.
