My friend mau724 and I will be hosting a screening of the Geocaching International Film Festival (GIFF) in Wheaton, IL at my church. My church recently renovated to improve lighting and sound and added screens to our sanctuary, and I think that this is a great use for them.
mau724 and I were out caching recently and we mentioned how we were disappointed that we couldn't make it to Dinaworks' fun event GIFF: Geocaching International Film Festival. We thought that others in this area might be in the same situation so mau724 suggested that we hold this event and here it is... the Sunday matinee version of the Geocaching International Film Festival. We will have time to visit, sign the logbook, take a group photo and the film starts at 2:15PM.
Questions you may have:
What is GIFF Weekend?
GIFF Weekend is your chance to watch the entire reel of the 16 finalist films from the 2015 Geocaching International Film Festival. On the weekend of November 5-8 only, geocachers will host geocaching events at which these films will be shown publicly for the first time.
Where is this event?
St. Matthew United Church of Christ

The easiest route is to take Gables Rd. south from Roosevelt Rd. until you come to a dead end. Turn left and you will see the church. There is plenty of parking and the entrance is on the west side of the building. There is a circle turnaround on the north side of the building for the north side handicap entrance.
