> If you’re not planning to attend the 2006 International Convention in Chicago--but DO plan to attend any of the Saturday, May 27 events on the Mooseheart campus (Mooseheart High School graduation, or the conferral of either the College of Regents Degree or the Pilgrim Degree of Merit)--Moose International has made a bloc of rooms available much closer to the Mooseheart campus than the downtown-Chicago hotels.

Just off the Reagan East-West Tollway (I-88), roughly 12 miles east of the Mooseheart campus, the Lisle-Naperville Hilton hotel (www.lislenaperville.hilton.com) has rooms for the weekend at a special rate of $72 per night. Reserve your room in one of two ways:

• At the website address listed above, click on “Check Availability,” and select a Check-In Date of May 25 and Check-Out Date of May 30 (you will NOT have to commit to all five nights). Select “Go,” and under “Group/Convention Code,” scroll down and enter the three-letter Group Code “MSH” to access the special rate for “Mooseheart Graduation.”
  
  
• To reserve a room by phone, call 1-800/HILTONS--or, phone the Lisle/Naperville Hilton directly, at 1-800/552-2599. Mention our Group Name, “Mooseheart Graduation,” and the three-letter Group Code “MSH.”
  

To receive the group rate of $72/night, reservations must be made by May 4.

Shuttle-bus service between the Hilton and Mooseheart will be made available. And--if you’re arriving by air, Bluebird Limousine can provide transportation to the Lisle/Naperville Hilton, or any other Mooseheart-area hotel, at reasonable rates. Reservations for pickup at either O’Hare or Midway Airport can be made by calling Bluebird’s toll-free number (within the continental U.S.) 1-888/851-0200, or locally, 630/236-0600. Please be ready to provide your flight number, arrival time, and exact destination when calling to make a reservation--and advance reservations are required; not simply upon arrival.

See you May 27!
