The Youth Arts Initiative Learning Community #3 (LC3) is only 5 weeks away! We are looking forward to facilitating a productive and joyful time in Chicago as you all do the vital work of planning for hard launch this fall.

Reminders

If you haven’t already, be sure to:

• Book your room at the Omni by May 27. (Note that this is Memorial Day, so while we hope you’re enjoying a long weekend, we also want to make sure you’re fully booked for the LC!)
• Book your flights! Prepare your travel plans to allow you to arrive in Chicago by Tuesday evening, June 18, and depart after 3 p.m. on Friday, June 21.
• Complete our  Favorite Things Survey so we can get to know you a little better for planning purposes.

Lunch Order

The Learning Community wraps up at noon on Friday. If you would like a box lunch to take with you on your way to the airport, please place your order by May 27.

Introductory Phone Calls

We will be calling each of you next week to introduce ourselves. This call won’t take too much of your time — just a couple minutes — so we can connect pre-LC!  We encourage you to reach out with any questions you might have as well.

Planning Your Visit

Check out this page for information on how to get to the hotel from the airport as well as restaurant recommendations and things to do while you’re in Chicago. You’ll have free time on Tuesday night (after you stop by our welcome reception in our “green room”) and on Thursday evening.

We can’t wait to see you in Chicago for a fruitful, fun, and inspiring few days together.

Keeping the beat until we meet!
