a hall at a college campus - if that can be arranged - then I'll get
motel/hotel info within a 2 mile radius. If not then I will locate
hotel/motels near O'Hare Airport.

Motels are running aroundd $40/night - Motel 6
2 star Inns - Best Western Quintas, Days Inn are around $70-80 /
night
3 star/4 star Hotels - Hilton- Doubletree/ sheraton/Holiday Inn are
around $110/night.,,,

Re: uicdoc

The dinner at Reza's - I'll make the reservations -it still a bit early.
The cost is abt US$15/person - The Website has all the details including
costs - there is even a link to the restaurant Web Site which has a menu &
telephone numbers and stuff.

Saturday mornng activities are the Pier .. details on the Web site as
well. I will finalize Sunday morning activities this week - shak had
some ideas.

Activities can change depending on ppl's preferences. ....
