*Abstract*

UniForum Chicago is proud to announce it has arranged for a special tour of
Fermilab in Batavia, Iliinois on Tuesday, October 25th from 6:00-9:00 pm.

For those who attended our 2012 tour this will be an opportunity to see how
Fermilab has evolved since then. For those who've never been there it will
be a chance to see what America's particle physics and accelerator
laboratory is all about.

The tour will include dsplays at Wilson Hall, Remote Operations Center for
CERN, the new particle source RSQ Pre-Accelerator (which replaced the
Cockroft-Walton Accelerator), Linear Accelerator, Main Control Room, the
new Experimental Controls Center, and the Grid Computing Center. We will
adjourn to a yet to be decided restaurant for an informal get-together
after the meeting. That restaurant will hopefully be disclosed here at
least a week before the tour.

It will not be a bus tour. We will transport ourselves around the Fermi
campus by car and foot. The only identification that will be required will
be a driver's license for those who will be driving.

The tour is free for members in good standing (ie. the member is up to date
on dues) or $5/person for non-members which can be paid at the tour. You
can join or renew your membership ahead of time online here:
http://uniforumchicago.org/membership-info.html or we will accept check or
cash at the tour.

We will be using the Meetup.com page for this meeting (
http://www.meetup.com/UniForum-Chicago/events/234279735/) to collect a list
of attendees for the tour. You must sign up before October 18th (one week
before the event) and there is a cap of 40 attendees so it's better to sign
up sooner than later. *Each attendee must RSVP individually on the **Meetup
Page <https://www.meetup.com/UniForum-Chicago/events/234279735/>.* If there
is a reason that you can't add yourself as member to the UniForum Chicago
Meetup Group and RSVP for the event, please use the Contact Us link to send
us an email or call.

We will meet at Fermilab's Wilson Hall which is at Kirk Rd. and Pine Street
in Batavia at 6:00 pm. We will arrange travel groups (carpooling) for
within the complex and then the tour begins at 6:30pm. At the present time
they advise us to park to the far right of Wilson Hall.

*About Fermilab <http://www.fnal.gov/pub/about/index.html>:*

Fermi Lab's Vision and Mission:
Fermilab is America's particle physics and accelerator laboratory.

Our vision is to solve the mysteries of matter, energy, space and time for
the benefit of all. We strive to:

   - Lead the world in neutrino science with particle accelerators
   - Lead the nation in the development of particle colliders and their use
   for scientific discovery
   - Advance particle physics through measurements of the cosmos

Our mission is to drive discovery by:

   - Building and operating world-leading accelerator and detector
   facilities
   - Performing pioneering research with national and global partners
   - Developing new technologies for science that support U.S. industrial
   competitiveness
