Member Profile: 5,000th Member! Donna Spilis

My name is Donna Spilis and I am not usually a "winner." So imagine my surprise when I received a call that I was the 5,000th member to sign up for I-GO Car Sharing. That same week I had won two tickets to a Cubs game, and found three dollars on the ground.

The suburbs had always been my home. I have worked for the American Bar Association for 32 years. When my daughters reached adulthood and moved away from their Mom, it took another five years before I realized I didn't have to keep that home that was too large for me alone, or commute to Chicago 40 miles each way from NW Indiana any longer, or keep a car with the ever increasing cost of gasoline.

Within three months, my car was gone and I was on the car rental path, which was only a couple times a month. There were several Internet sites about car sharing, but the "I-GO" listing caught my attention. The ease of completing the application on line, the convenient location, the options, the insurance coverage, the thorough orientation and organization of the process all appealed to my anal-retentive personality (well, I'm not that bad.) Everything seems to be included! I look forward to a successful, equally satisfying relationship with I-GO and an opportunity to meet other members.

Oh! The Places I-GO!: Skydiving

Now that it's finally nice outside, why not enjoy it by doing a little skydiving? Okay, this is probably not the most environmentally friendly thing to do, but even environmentalists have to have fun sometimes. Although all of the websites say "Skydive Chicago", you have to drive 50 miles out of your way to get to the plane. What a perfect I-GO trip! (Hint: The Standard Plus Plan or GO 10 are most cost-effective for this type of trip.) The skydiving website with the best web address is www.PerfectlyGoodAirplane.com (Although I would not recommend jumping out of a plane based solely on a clever web address.)
From Downtown Chicago:
290 West
88 West
Through the Aurora Toll Plaza
Take the Sugar Grove 56/47/30 exit
Follow signs to Hinckley via Route 30 West
Drive past the Aurora Airport
Through the town of Big Rock
Through the town of Hinckley
CSC is 3 miles west of Hinckley on the right hand side
If you hit the town of Waterman you have gone too far.
