BWE '10 will be held on 67th floor of Willis (Sears) Tower!

[JimHow]

Thanks to the efforts of Rick and Jon, our Saturday night convention dinner on March 27th will be held in the east room Metropolitan Club on the 67th floor of the Willis Tower in Chicago.

The Chicago BWEers are finalizing menu and pricing details, but they have scouted out the place and give it two enthusiastic thumbs up. Sounds like the view is great! I will post the pictures that Kathy took a little later this afternoon.

We expect a maximum attendance in the vicinty of 45, and it appears the cost of the dinner will be substantially less than recent BWE convention dinners.

Thanks again Rick and Jon for your efforts in securing this site, I think it will be a very exciting venue for our annual BWE dinner!

And thanks, guys, for your efforts.

The other thing that the photos reveal: proper stemware!

[JCNorthway]

Tim,

Thanks for that observation. That is something that Rick and I inquired about when meeting with them. And they appear to be pretty well stocked with decent stemware.

Jon was hoping for 2 or 3 and the Club manager said we were thinking 5 per person:)

We'll need between 30-40 glasses designated for the ceremonial pouring of the 1989 Lynch Bages 3L with dinner....
