Other major decisions that have been made include the Oakwood Aeolians concert on Tuesday evening and some decisions regarding food options. The union education leadership has visited the facility and has begun making plans for spaces needed for union and conference registration. We will begin to take breakout requests and applications January 1, 2018, so if you would like to hear a presentation on a particular subject, or if you are willing to present a topic, you will need to fill out the online form and submit it. Please do not call or email asking to present, it must all go through the online process. We are looking forward to having each of you worship, learn, and fellowship with us in Chicago!
