Catalina Fleet 21 - Chicago Region invites you to attend the

2008 Chicago Strictly Sail Show at

Navy Pier - January 31-February 3

and a Special Fleet 21/LMCA Gathering

at the Hampton Inn (February 2)

Strictly Sail: It’s that time of year again to start making plans to come on out to Navy Pier for the 2008 Strictly Sail Show. As always, we’ve got beautiful rooms reserved at the Hampton Inn & Suites, 33 W. Illinois, for both Friday and Saturday night (Feb 1-2) at great rates! Over 100 Catalina Fleet 21 and LMCA members and their guests stayed downtown Friday and/or Saturday night last year and made a whole weekend of it. Why don't you plan to do the same!

Fleet 21 Winter Rendezvous: We’ll definitely head back to the Hampton Inn right after the show closes on Saturday so that we don’t miss out on all that Fleet 21/LMCA camaraderie. Festivities begin at 8:00 p.m. in the large Hospitality Suite on the second floor. We will have an open bar from 8:30 - 10:30 p.m. Please bring a snack to share (unopened and store bought as the hotel staff will serve the food and beverages again this year). Then we’ll enjoy pizza and salad for dinner. The cost is $10.00 per person and will be collected at the door.

Rates: Regular Room @ $105.00 (King or Two Double Beds)

King Suite @ $139.00 (King bed w/bath plus mini refrigerator & microwave)

2-Room Suite @$139.00 (King bedroom w/bath plus attached kitchenette and living room w/sofa sleeper)

Breakfast: Included in the rates above is a lavish continental breakfast consisting of pastries, muffins, bagels, toasts, cereals and hot entrees, juices and fresh fruit available from 6-10:00 a.m. each morning in the hotel’s Hospitality Suite.

Shuttle: The Navy Pier Shuttle stops at the corner of the Hampton Inn (State & Illinois) and runs every 30 minutes from 9:00 a.m. - midnight. You can also catch a cab right outside the hotel for a nominal fee. Or take the pleasant 20-minute walk weather permitting.
