Thanks. Won't have GE approved by then. And from Gmaps, Skokie doesn't look to be much closer.Even if the Minyan finishes at 8, I wouldn't get to the airport till 8:30 which leaves an hour till the flight... Oy it's not going to be a fun week. No offense Chicagoans.
The Q Center is in St Charles, IL. Not in the (frum) area at all. In fact its not even in Chicago. Most chicagoans have likely never even heard of it.
