Shuttle service from campus and the hotels
will begin at 2:00 p.m., for those who might like to
spend the afternoon sampling Navy Pier’s array of restaurants, shops,
attractions, and entertainment. (A discount coupon program
is being arranged.) Festival Hall and the Grand Ballroom
on the east end the Pier will serve as event headquarters.
This eastern-most edge of the 3,000-foot long Pier offers
the city’s best view of the spectacular
skyline and lakefront, as well as quiet
areas for discussion, conversation,
or contemplation.
Food service, which will include a “Taste of Chicago” menu,
will begin at approximately 5:00 p.m. The evening will
conclude with Navy Pier’s spectacular
Wednesday night fireworks show.
