Navy Patrol Bombing Squadrons 102/14 Association

The Reunion will be held in downtown Chicago on Sunday, August 25th – Thursday, August 29th at the Embassy Suites.  The hotel is located in a great location just off the Magnificent Mile (Michigan Ave) on N. State Street, west of Navy Pier.  We will be in the heart of all the attractions, some in walking distance and others easily reached by public
transit or a quick jump in a cab.

The Reunion Volunteers worked diligently to find a hotel with a convenient location at an affordable price. The Embassy Suites has offered us a rate of $154 per night which we hope, will allow all of the members to participate. We feel that staying in downtown vs. the suburbs will actually off set your expenses since we will not have the cost of commuting into downtown plus the Embassy Suites offers a complimentary cooked to order breakfast and a nightly 2 hour hosted reception with drinks and light appetizers. Also, Chicago experiences will be right out the front door as they were in New Orleans. Click on the Embassy Suites logo below for more information about the hotel and accommodations. While you’re there make your reservations for the reunion.

                                                                      

If you intend to attend the Reunion, please book your rooms as soon as possible! We have booked a block of rooms at the $154 rate and suspect we might need more. By you booking your rooms early, we will know if we need to increase our block of rooms while the $154 rates are still available. It is not a problem if your plans change since there is a no fee 24 hour cancellation policy.

Being an airline hub, Chicago will be a relatively easy destination……. and don’t forget, all trains lead to Chicago! We hope to see as many of you as possible at the 2013 Reunion.

Look for your 2013 Chicago Reunion registration forms in the current newsletter.
