CIRCLE (Central Illinois Regional Chambers Legislative Effort) is going to Springfield on May 9, 2013 and we need you to join us! The Chambers of Canton, Champaign County, Chillicothe, Decatur, East Peoria, Jacksonville, Lincoln/Logan, Macomb, McLean County, Morton, Pekin, Peoria, Peoria Heights, Quincy, Springfield, and Washington are working together to advocate for a common agenda with the Illinois General Assembly. There is power in numbers!
	
	We surveyed our members to identify issues of importance across the region and now we need to share our Central Illinois perspective on those issues with key members of the General Assembly. These are issues that impact YOUR business and OUR region, so please join us for an all day session on May 9th.
	
	We will arrange meetings with legislators and key committee staff members that relate to each of our issues. You will play an active role in the discussions with the policy makers so sign up today!
