Join fellow classmates and friends for our customary 5th-year re-visit to Chicago — a city of world-class status and unsurpassed beauty. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan in the heart of the Midwest, Chicago is home to world-championship sports teams, an internationally acclaimed symphony orchestra, renowned architecture, celebrated museums, award-winning theater, and much more. We’re very excited about visiting Chicago again.

In the beginning, our reunions used to be just a weekend gathering of Eagles, but, as many of us have witnessed over the last few years, more of us are making our way into town early to take advantage of touring our host cities with our fellow classmates and friends. Our hospitality suite will open Wednesday, June 23 and remain open through Sunday, June 27, so come join us for the weekend or longer. As in past years, we will take to the water Friday night for a dinner cruise. Saturday night will be our dinner dance at our host hotel. Your Alumni Board has lots of surprises and treats in store.

Reunion headquarters for 2010 is the luxury, four-diamond Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel, situated on the north edge of the historic Loop — steps away from distinguished shopping, fine dining and famed Millennium Park. The special FHS rate is $149 per night per room from June 23 – June 27, 2010. 15.4% state and local taxes = $171.95 per night).

Make hotel reservations and payment directly with the Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel by calling 312-372-7200 or Central Reservations at 1-800-468-3571 or online. Ask for the Frankfurt American High School Reunion (group code fahfaha). The room block will be held until Wednesday, June 2, 2010.

Additional activities are being planned. As we get more details regarding our planned activities or how other classmates plan to spend their free time, we’ll post on our Yahoo group site.
