Travel Information
Welcome to Chicago Your Kind of Town! We want you to have a great time so please review this information to guide you on your journey.
 

WHAT TO WEAR
Rotary casual attire throughout the weekend, with two exceptions:
Friday Night:
Go ahead and dress up a little bit but leave the tux or gown at home…it’s the Come Home Zone, not Prom! Business or Cocktail attire.
Saturday Night:
Since you will be out having fun all afternoon, don’t worry about heading back to the hotel to change.
It’s a “come as you are” evening at the Ukrainian Cultural Center!

Remember, it’s October in Chicago…bring layers!
