Transportation logistics

All,



I'd like to briefly explain the simple logistics of parking at the Ritz. If you choose to self-park your car in the garage, the fee is $5 for the entire evening. After parking, follow the signs to the"Ballroom Entrance" and we will see you there.



If, however, you would like to valet your vehicle at the front of the hotel, the service will cost you $7+any tip you care to give. It is worth noting that there is some available outdoor parking on the small streets surrounding the hotel, but this will likely be hard to come by.



For those of you being picked up/dropped off by a "party bus" of some variety, the driver should load and/or unload passengers at the "Monarch Entrance." This seems to be well-known to area drivers, so there should be minimal confusion. The address is 100 Carondelet Plaza, St. Louis, MO 63105. It is very easy to get to from school.



And finally, as your transportation representative, I would like to emphasize the use of designated drivers, carpooling, and taxis. Four hours of open bar will help ensure that everyone gets their fair share, but safety for this event is paramount. Please use good judgment so we can all avoid any tragedy that would mar what promises to be an elegant evening and phenomenal opportunity for all of us to get together, celebrate the friends we've made and the school we are lucky to be a part of (And yes, I just ended a sentence with a preposition. What of it?).



Best,

David Logan
