The event will take place at the Metropolis Grand Ballroom (111 W. Campbell Street in Arlington Heights - enter on Vail Street).

But wait.... There's even more exciting news: Professional Triathlete Mirinda "Rinny" Carfrae will participate in the Q&A on Monday as well. With 12 Ironman 70.3wins to date, Rinny dominates the 70.3 distance and she leaves no doubt that she's a force to be reckoned with in the future.

Summer Fun in Downtown Arlington Heights

It's the Sidewalk Sale!
Although we are not "Taking Part", I mention it because it might be fun to check out, and it might effect parking in and around DownTown AH, don't forget about the huge Garage on Vail St, accross from Harmony Park

If you missed the last one

We are offering another class through the Park District.
The one for adults starts a bit later. See the pretty flyer they came up with:

Help Spread the word! Retweet, reblog, tell your friends!
I just learned of a Benefit Concert for the Finnerty Kids being held at Peggy Kinnane's.
Saturday January 30, Doors open at 8:00pm, 8 N Vail Ave, Arlington Heights,
Local Talent Headlining: YRT, also Featuring (More Locals): the Greasy BOHUNKS
There will be a raffle and prizes, with a suggested donation of just $10.00
Organized by "neighbors unite" a community gathering to heal, remember and help the Finnerty Kids
If you dont know who the Finnerty kids are, they are 2 local children who were orphaned and lost a brother last year in a tragic house fire. They are currently living with their Aunt and Uncle, my understanding is that to proceeds from this event are going to refurbish the house in an attempt to sell it.

Volunteer Opportunities

Further to yesterdays post about the Arlington Criterium Kids race.
We are looking for some Volunteers to help organize the kids at their starting points, and to help hand out race medals at the conclusion of the race.
It would be a time commitment of less the 2 hours, from around 5:00 pm ish, to around 6:30 pm ish.
It should be a fun little event.
If you are interested call the shop and talk to Tif, 847-222-7887
