Orland Park Civic Center — Local services in Orland Township

I visited this Venue yesterday (17/FEB/2017) to attend a Training , on THE NEW HEROIN EPIDEMIC .

Well organized event (rosecrance) :

1》 Venue - Easy to find & perfect size

2》 Logistics - Well laid out , Room , Tables & Chairs , Speakers Position

3》 Topic - Epidemic Proportions HEROIN (Nothing Else Needs To Be Said)

4》 Speakers - Qualified , Entertaining , Great Visual Aids

5》 Length (Time) - Very minor snafus

In general most of the aforementioned Bullit Points were , Average to Above Average !

A] I wore a very sentimental Jacket , to the event . I bought a pair of Historically Themed , Tuskeegee Airmen Jackets , 2-years ago . One for an actual Tukeegee Airman ("BUDDIE" JACKSON) and myself .

B] "Buddie" told me he loved the jacket so much , he'd wear it to the Grave !

C] Yes , it was stolen at this Venue , incredibly there are no Cameras in this Structure . I am responsible and Heartbroken !

Unfortunately , I was distraught (No Pics) and excited someone (God's Angel) offered a ride home . The caveat was , it took me close to 2-1/2 Hrs. to get there from Uptown (North Side / Lawrence & Broadway) . It was Miraculous anyone had plans going near my Apartment . That was attending the same event !
