both you and the fire service. Please extend this invitation to fellow district

and attendance.
The day will begin with a legislative training session and
program followed by lunch at The Historical Inn at 835, 835 S. Second Street,

Contact your legislators to
schedule an appointment to discuss our concerns during the afternoon of March
24th and also invite your legislator to the evening Legislative Reception being
held at The Statehouse Inn, 101 E. Adams Street, Springfield (1 block northwest
of Capitol Complex).
A block of hotel rooms for March 24th are being held until
