CHIC 2015 Transportation 

Do you know how you're getting to CHIC? Forget sleepless leaders who didn't get a decent night's sleep all week. Don't worry about the rusty church van breaking down in the middle of Illinois. Take the hassle out of planning the travel and ride a Northwest Conference bus.  

For $205, your students and leaders not only get to ride in luxury, but they get a custom-designed NWC CHIC t-shirt. But that's not all! They also get breakfast the morning we head home.

To register your group, contact Cheryl at cheryl@northwestconference.org. There will be various pick-up and drop-off locations throughout the NWC. Want to go early or stay late? We might be able to arrange that too.
