Sorry for the delay in getting this out....
We have reserved a block of 25 rooms for Friday night, and 5 for
Saturday night, at the Penn Tower Hotel (the same as last year), on
34th and Civic Center Boulevard.
The rate is $115/night, plus tax.
The phone # is 215.387.8333 or 800.356.PENN.
The rooms are currently reserved under the name Oliver Entine (our
treasurer and contact person for the hotel); you will need a credit
card to hold the rooms.
Important: the rate is available through January 16, 2004. We cannot
guarantee the rate or the rooms will be available after that date.
If you have any questions or problems, please e-mail me at
<pennbowlpackets_at_...> or <padt_at_...> ASAP.

P.S. For those of you flying into Philadelphia, you *may* be able to
find a cheaper rate for hotels by using www.gophila.org (they offer
a "sleepover" rate if you spend two nights in the city; I have not
looked at availability or prices).
