A Note From Organizer : Rob LaVeau
GET YOUR HOTEL RESERVATIONS NOW!
Dear Brotherhood,
The solid turnout for CBP3 has rekindled the spirit of 702 Mound Street.
Plans are completed for Chop Block Party Four,
and some changes have been made, to hopefully improve the weekend!
Most Notably,
the change to a different hotel, The Holiday Inn "Holidome"
and improvement of the Saturday Night Informal to be a true sit-down dinner
Here is the line up for the weekend,
most venues are the same because they worked well last year.
But before we unveil the weekend events,
I must list the final damage assessment from CBP3.
- Two Tables - Stadium Club and Pizza (Thanks Chad)
- One 1996 Chevy Corvette (lost Friday until 10:30 A.M.
Saturday)
- One 35mm Camera
- One Floral Vase - Radisson Party Room
- One Table - Radisson Party Room (Thanks Again Chad)
- Millions of brain cells
- Room #211 - Radisson of Arlington Heights - I don't
think that room can ever be restored.
Man, the stench Sunday morning from that room was something!
REMEMBER
- Return your cards early -
Numbers are critical to planning!

Friday August 6th, 1999
For really early arrivals:
CUBS -Vs- HOUSTON ASTROS

Early Bird Party or the Friday Night Beer Bash
Stadium Club & Pizza
Walking distance from the Holidome
7:00 P.M. until

This year the party will be less structured
to accommodate late arriving guests.
In other words -
You can order whatever you want off of the menus,
order drinks as you see fit, and pay as you go!
The same place and same area of the Stadium Club are reserved
(hopefully with some new tables),
No special arrangements have been set up with the bar!
