PROGRAM:  John Karnuth and Larry Hanson, City of Chicago,
          Dept. of Planning and Development,
          "Planning for Chicago's Next Millennium with GIS."

Anyone who pays the least attention to the built environment of
Chicago knows that the city planners have been working overtime.
Every time you turn around, there's a new, ambitious public works
project, including one right outside the Newberry in Washington
Square Park.  An important ingredient in all this activity is
the sophisticated GIS system that the city employs.  This month,
in recognition of National GIS Day, we will get a guided tour
of the City's GIS system from two of the people who make it
work.  Please join us at the usual time and place for an evening
of refreshments, conversation, and a stimulating presentation.

For December, we've got Anna Friedman on the 16th (this program
will be at the Adler Planetarium, in what is apparently a
splendid new and much-sought-after space)
