Hi Everyone,

The updates logistics are below!

Hotel:  Four Points by Sheraton, 630 N. Rush St, Chicago, IL 60611, 
312-981-6600

Meeting Schedule:
Thursday, Jan 29 - Arrive, Meeting (3pm-6pm) and Group Dinner
Friday, Jan 30 - Meeting (9am-5pm), Lunch with Membership Committee, and Depart

Travel:
Downtown Chicago is equal distance from O'Hare and Midway airports.  There 
are shuttle services and public transportation (the "L") from each airport 
to downtown.  If you would like more details about transportation, 
security, etc. see  http://www.flychicago.com/   Each airport has its own 
website linked from this site.

Food: Please plan to join the entire CEC on Thursday for a group dinner and 
Friday afternoon for a group lunch with the membership committee.  These 
are great times to meet with friends and make new ones.  All other meals 
are "on your own."

For those of you who have been to our meetings in the past, the hotel is 
now doing its morning breakfast buffet differently.  No longer are they 
allow us to just go to the breakfast as part of our room cost.  If you 
would like to have the hotel's breakfast buffet, you are now required to 
charge it to your room, then MLA will reimburse you for the cost.

Dress: The midwinter meetings are business casual.  Some of us have even 
been known to where nice jeans.

Reimbursements: MLA does reimburse for travel, one night in the hotel, and 
up to $45 per diem a day for expenses (receipts are required) for all 
committee members.  But we are asking that each member of the committee 
watch their spending because it is getting more and more expensive to run 
these meetings.  At the meeting, I will have on hand the MLA reimbursement 
form.  I will explain how to fill out the form for proper and speedy 
reimbursement from MLA.

Agenda Books: Please refer to my previous email regarding the specifics of 
the agenda books.  You are required to bring your own binder filled with 
the reports listed on the portal.  We will not have extra books at the meeting.

Here is the access information for the 2009 Midwinter meeting documents:
