Morris Family
Reunion Schedule
June 7-9, 2019
Thursday,
June 6th
On Thursday, early arrivals will meet at the Cityscape Bar in
the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza, 350 W. Wolf Point Plaza starting at
4pm. Based on the number and desire of those arriving on Thursday we can
have dinner as a group or individually.
Friday,
June 7th
On Friday, all attendees will meet at Revival Food Hall, 125
S. Clark Street at 5pm. Food is available until 7pm and the Cafe-Bar
closes at 9pm. Individuals will be responsible for choosing and paying for
their own food and drink. Go to revivalfoodhall.com to familiarize yourself
with the options. Bobby Rush is tonight’s headliner for the Chicago Blues
Festival and will perform from 7:45 to 9:00pm. It’s a short walk to the
performance venue-the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park at 201 E.
Randolph.
Saturday, June 8th
I have chosen the Shoreline Architectural River Cruise as
our group activity. Please purchase your tickets online
(https://shorelinesightseeing.com/) for the Saturday morning architectural tour
leaving from Navy Pier at 10am. Of course, this event is optional
but I think it’s a great way to experience the city, especially if this is your
first trip to Chicago.
The Morris Family Banquet will be at Labriola Italian
Restaurant & Cafe at 535 N. Michigan Avenue, starting promptly at 6pm. So
far, there are no formal plans for Sunday, June 9th.
Registration

For adults who plan to
consume alcohol at the banquet, the fee is $107.00; for those who
will not drink, the fee is $80.00; for children 12 and under the
fee is $42.00. The deadline for registration is May 31, 2019.

Holiday Inn Chicago
Mart Plaza River North
The room block is under Morris Family Reunion. Individuals are
responsible for reserving and paying for their room. All reservations
must be made by phone. Please call 855-268-0372 to make your
reservations. The hotel will hold this block of rooms until Tuesday, May 7,
2019. At that time, rooms not covered by the individual reservations will
be released for general sale and the group rate, available June 6th through the
9th, may no longer be available.
For less expensive hotels just use choosechicago.com,
tripadvisor.com, etc. These two hotels are located side-by-side in Hyde Park
and offer views of the lake and free parking. The Lake Shore Hotel is a really
good value but reviews about its quality are mixed.
