Don't forget the Air & Water Show will be going on, so allow for that if driving to the Drake -- it's right in the middle of it!

The Sat night banquet is a rather dressy affair.     You wil see all variations of dressy though from a the little black dress ( which I do not own)  to just a nice dress.              So do what works  best for you.           The parking does sound bad as some of us are not used to it at all!                          Cheryl R

Looking forward to seeing everyone!!  We are just going to "bite the bullet" and use the valet parking at the Drake so we can go in and out if needed with no additional charge.

I agree with Deb that maybe the best thing is to set a time to meet in the Lobby on Thursday night and go from there.  Hopefully it will not be too hot or too far to walk to Gino's ..... parking closer might be impossible anyway.

Debbi--there is a social function on the symposium schedule for Fri night--round table discussions after dinner--sounds medically but it was really more social.

Also a word of warning--I darn near froze my patoot off last symposium they had the air conditioning turned up so high.  It was really cold on that Sat night and of course I was sleeveless--so cold I ended up with a migraine by the time dinner was over.  This time I'm bringing several sweaters and a wrap for the hoe-down.  I guess I still have a tropical body from all those years in the Caribben.  Steve's hat may come in handy!!

Hi,

This may have been addressed and I missed it. My HUSBAND thought to ask this. Thank goodness, someone here plans ahead.....How Gala is the Gala Saturday night?? Do the men need coats and women more dressy? I just saw it on the schedule with no dress code was stated. I don't want us to be totally inappropriate. Our Arizona flip flops are probably not it.

I hope for cool rooms everywhere at the symposium. I forgot how it feels to be too cold! LOL! I want to wear a sweater to remember what it feels like to even need sleeves. A blizzard might be nice but it looks by the online 7 day forecast like it will be sweltering (for Chicago). SIGH!

Also, any bringing eye patches as our Phyl requested - I think if they are worn they should be over the offending EAR and not the eye.  ;) We need all the vision we can get. PLUS we will know which side to talk to. Talk to the ear!

I am getting soooooo excited. See some of you Thursday, I hope, if not see you Friday.

I am assuming not jacket and tie, but a shirt with a collar, and not jeans. :)

I thought Phyl said "Business Formal"  and Cheryl who has been to many of these said that Saturday night is pretty dressy...

Steve,

Actually I was under the impression ties were in order... :-\
