- The hotel has one restaurant and a café.
- Free parking for those of you driving.
- Rooms with refrigerator and microwave upon request.
- There’s full list of amenities and local facilities on their fact-sheet.
- Call and ask for Halle Long (847) 296-4471; or, check with the front desk. Tell Halle you’re with NCFM. Tell the front desk you are with the National Coalition For Men. If that doesn’t work, try the National Center for Men. It’s a long story.

Agenda
NOTE: Due to the change of venue, there will be no scheduled speakers Friday night. Non board members can take part at the board meeting.
Friday

Saturday
- 7:00 to 8:15 free continental breakfast with eggs, sausage and pancakes available upon request (at no extra charge).

- 5:30 p.m. break for the day, on your own.
Sunday

- 12:00 or earlier our meeting will end so attendees can check out (can ask late checkout from hotel), catch flights home, go into Chicago to see what there is to see, or do whatever they like as long as it’s legal.
We’re looking forward to seeing you in Chicago! All NCFM members are welcome!
