commuter train leaves practically every hour for Downtown Chicago. A short cab
ride takes you to Michigan Ave. The train schedule, plus transportation to the
train, is available at the concierge desk.
Where To Send Money: Joe Bigane
Unless it's clear, please indicate who you are paying for, especially if it's
another classmate and what functions you intend to take part in. Scholarship
money is appreciated. If you can afford to send additional funds, by all means
do so. Your classmates will appreciate it. Just let Joe know either how or to
whom you want the funds directed, he's not a mind reader.
Transportation: Cabs are readily available at the front of the hotel. The
resort also has two shuttle busses; one holds 13 the other holds 10, for groups
who may what to schedule a Saturday afternoon soiree. Chicago locals usually
have plenty of cars as well.
Food: Friday night cocktail hour is from 5 to 8 PM. You are on your own for
dinner. The resort has two restaurants; Shiraz which is upscale and is open
till around 10 PM and the Masters Club, more modest fare but they close around
8 PM. A list of area restaurants will be provided to the attendees, with some
recommendations. Historically dinner has not been a problem, local classmates
have transportation.
Saturday night there will be a beef, chicken and fish entre. If you have
special meal needs, let us know, we will make the appropriate arrangements.
Sunday morning Shiraz has a brunch and the Masters Club has a breakfast
buffet.
Scholarships: Scholarships are readily available for those who need them. It's
not a state secret that some of our classmates are less fortunate than others.
Historically this has been handled in an extremely discreet fashion and it will
be again. Please don't let money interfere with us enjoying the pleasure of
your company. Those who can afford to send additional funds please do so. Any
money left over from the reunion will be sent to: Jesuit Partnership in
Milwaukee for the care of elderly Jesuits.
