I'm certainly interested in volunteering but your given link does not resolve well. Perhaps you could update the post to include the correct link for the volunteer form.

Thanks,

Sean or anyone,

Can you check the survey monkey link? I already completed it, so I don't get anywhere trying to verify it works.

Thanks!

Regards,

Thanks for making the change, Cathy. It works fine now.

Best wishes,

Are the dates 15th thru 18th or 14th thru 17th?

Hi,

It is through Monday, so yes the 17th.

Dates, the calendar and me are not on good terms.

Cathy, any idea if there is any sort of discounted parking for volunteers? I'll be there tomorrow morning and afternoon, but ended up getting assigned to an afternoon session at Le Cordon Bleu somehow that will make it difficult for me to make another committment if I don't drive. The $41 standard rate for the Marriott is a bit much for a volunteer day.

Hi,

My family is dropping me off after Culinary Historians, because I hate paying for parking. I will be taking Metra home. Contact Melissa, because she told me where she found $16 parking.

They had shuttles to their reception this evening at Wabash and 21st. I am guessing, I suspect they may have shuttle to Cordon Bleu, too.

I will be there from about noon for session from 1 to 3, then coffee from 3 to 3:30. At 3:30, I hope to sit in on the food history breakout session in the Illinois room on the sixth floor.

On Sunday, I will arrive around 9:00 am. I am volunteering for a session from 10:30 (or is it 10?) until noon.

Regards,
Cathy

Try Spothero. Through them I found all day parking at 111 E. Wacker on Saturday for $15.

Hi,

Meanwhile, I just read through their Program on page 53:

This session is held at Le Cordon Bleu; bus transportation from the hotel is provided.

As NFriday likes to say, "I hope this helps."

Thank you for helping out.

Regards,
