[Imc-newsroom] Fwd: CHICAGO EVENTS CALENDAR JAN 3 - JAN 20

[Peter Miller]

I'll only send this to the newsroom list once, unless folks want me to 
forward it regularly.  This is a progressive community calendar for Chicago 
(and apparently other parts of the state, too).  Sometimes it has 
newsworthy items listed, good for coverage on FSRN, the newshour, the pi or 
the web.
