"Last year, we had our first Chicago's Canadians Thanksgiving celebration, and had one of our largest turnouts ever, over 40 folks. This year, let's make it even bigger!

Member Roy Lamond last year recommended Stanley's Kitchen in Lincoln Park at the six corners of Lincoln, Armitage and Sedgwick, and everybody loved it! Affordable, home-style food and plenty of it. Families, bring the kids!

On Sunday nights, they have turkey and dressing dinner, perfect for a Thanksgiving feast. But if you're not into the gobbler, they have a lot of other home-cooked favourites.

The price is advertised as just $8.95 per person. Here's how Stanley's describes themselves:

"Stanley's Kitchen & Tap is a full service restaurant specializing in traditional American home-style cooking with a Southern twist. Entrees are affordable, with prices starting at $5.95, and the number of doggie bags we go through testifies to the portion size and value. Supper entrees include American home-style favorites such as chicken fried steak, meatloaf, pork chops, and catfish, include a choice of sides such as mashed potatoes and gravy, buttered corn and macaroni and cheese, and average $8.00-15.00. Your kids will love our PB&J and mini-corn dogs, and Stanley's gives the tykes a free scoop of ice cream after dinner."

We've talked to the chef/owner, and he's ready to become Canadian for a day for us again!

The sooner you can RSVP Yes, the better. If we can get 20-25 folks committed by Sunday night October 3, we may be able to reserve their private room. If not, we can still be in the main dining room, but wouldn't it be great to have our own space with its own bar and big screen TV? Maybe we can watch some hockey too!

Please RSVP Yes ASAP if you can attend, and give the number of people attending. Because Stanley's would have to know if a large number of people would be ordering the turkey dinner (you're not required to), they've requested your RSVP by Thursday October 7 at 9am to give them enough time to stock the pantry.

If you don't know by then, you can still attend (be sure to RSVP), but you may have to order something else from the menu. And if you don't want to have dinner, just come by anyway to hang with Canadians!

Any questions, please contact your Organizer, J D Vercett, at [email protected] or 312.933.4342. Looking forward to seeing you!"
