Field trip to Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art Elmhurst, Il

Good morning everyone, we discussed doing a field trip last night at our meeting to the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art in Elmurst, Il.  We were thinking of coordinating with the Badger Rock Club, as they are already going on February 23rd.  I would like to get an idea of how many of you would be interested in going, so if you could email me back and let me know if you are interested in going, I would very much appreciate it.  I am thinking we could carpool to save on transportation cost.  This would be a day trip and a good outing during the winter months.  The Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary art is a world class museum and well worth the trip. 

I am looking forward to hearing from you.
