Dear crew families:

Today is the last day to book the Stotesbury hotel room before the block is
released, and since the hotel is completely full, it is very unlikely that
you would be able to stay there if you do not book today.  So please go on
the website and reserve your room if you are planning to go. 

GOOD NEWS-we have the Sidwell buses for the ride up, the insurance situation
was worked out. So possible drivers on Thursday, we don't need any extra
drivers beyond bus driver Burr and bus driver Ted, plus Sharon, Liz and I
who will be carting luggage and food and a few rowers.

I paste the original email information with the booking link below.

Take care

Cindy

1)       Hotel reservations for families:  Parents should use the link below
to reserve a hotel room for Friday night May 20th.   The hotel is the Crowne
Plaza Philadelphia Downtown, 1800 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.  We
have negotiated a rate of $129.00 per night, which for a downtown
Philadelphia hotel is very competitive.  For Stotesbury veterans, this is
NOT the hotel we have stayed at for years previously, we finally decided the
other hotel was just too scuzzy, and this hotel offers many advantages,
including location closer to the river, a reasonably-priced team dinner
Thursday evening, and a much nicer ambiance (no interstate noise!). The
rowers share rooms with each other arranged and paid for by the team, in the
same hotel, and do not need to be taken into account by families reserving
rooms. We have already reserved rooms for the rowers, you ONLY need to
reserve a room for the family if you are planning to go up and watch the
races. Families generally stay only one night (Friday).  Even if boats race
on Saturday, the regatta is finished by mid-day.

RESERVATIONS MUST BE MADE BY APRIL 20th, the block will be released after
that time, and with graduations and Stotesbury, hotel rooms that weekend are
at a premium, so please be sure to reserve ASAP. The room can be cancelled
up until the day of arrival without penalty. 

There are no additional rooms available for Thursday night May 19th. Looking
at the usual race schedule, no Sidwell boat should be rowing in a race
before mid-late morning Friday, therefore driving up Friday morning for
families will be fine.
