I-GO Car Sharing

I-GO holiday party update

ckeller — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:34:31 +0000

Earlier this week we emailed our holiday party invite to I-GO members. We’ll send it out again in a few days, with some additional details. But if you didn’t see it yet, and would like to attend our annual bash, we’ve posted the invitation on our site. Check it out, and then just email us at greenparty@igocars.org with the names of those attending and their email addresses (so we can contact everyone with any updates or reminders).

It’s gonna be a great one this year. Merchandise Mart Properties has generously provided us with a killer space, and several other business supporters are pitching in with food and drink, prizes, and more. We’ll be updating folks as the attractions expand! The one thing that won’t expand: your waistline. We’re dishing up healthy holiday fare with organic flair. Mmmm. Now that’s a green holiday party.

Cecil Adams gives Reader fans the lowdown on car sharing, how it works, and how members contribute to the program in the Straight Dope, the Reader’s venerable, plucky column. Looks good to us. Thanks for spreading the word, Cecil!

Our friends at the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) are holding a photo contest. Here are the basics:

CMAP is asking residents of Cook, DuPage, Will, Kane, McHenry, Lake, and Kendall counties to pull out their cameras and capture what they value about the region. CMAP’s “2009 Images of Northeastern Illinois Photo Contest” runs through the end of November.

Two winners (a first prize and runner-up) will be selected in each of the following categories, along with one overall contest winner and runner-up:

Diversity (people, places, art, culture, food)
Community Vitality (walkable, vibrant places; retail; neighborhood pride)
Natural Environment (lakes, rivers, preserves, parks, sky, wildlife)
Architecture/Urban Design (plazas, buildings, neighborhoods, boulevards)
Transportation (pedestrians, bikes, cars, boats, trains, planes, etc.)

Awards will include prizes donated by local businesses and a showcase of the winners’ photos at a location to be announced. Submissions to the contest may also be featured on CMAP’s web site and in print publications (with prior consent only).

More details and full contest rules are posted online. You can also contact Lindsay Banks with questions: (312) 386-8826 or email photo@cmap.illinois.gov.

Need inspiration? Take a peek at some pix shot by previous winners, like Tom Rand’s stark depiction of Calumet Beach in winter:
