ACCESS members and guests last enjoyed a wonderful luncheon cruise aboard the Nautica Queen on June 9, 2012.   This year’s event is planned for Saturday, October 18, 2014.  Download the Retirement Luncheon-2014 flyer.

All ACCESS retirees, current staff members, family and friends are invited.   We expect great weather for a fantastic luncheon buffet and lake/river cruise.   Don’t miss this one; it may be the last for a while!

Please purchase your tickets directly from the Nautica Queen by calling 216-696-8888 and use confirmation code “11198-4” to assure that you will be seated with our group.
No one from ACCESS will be collecting money or reservations!

The cost of previous events was offset by a discount for a pre-paid block of 30+ reservations with additional reductions from funds raised at the Wing-Night Fundraisers.   No event was held last year, primarily because the time, effort, and risk of collecting money had proved to be a burden.

However, funds remain from previous fundraisers.   It has been recommended that the account be closed out or donated to the ACCESS treasury.

It seems only fair that funds raised in previous Wing-Night fundraisers be returned to those primarily responsible for raising those funds—those who attended the events.   Therefore, all remaining funds will be distributed as a ticket rebate to those attending this year.   Ticket rebates may range from $5 to as much as $10 depending on the number of attendees.

Boarding will begin at 10:00 am.   The boat will leave the dock promptly at 11:00 am.   Parking ($) is at the Nautica Entertainment Complex on the West Bank of the Flats.   At 12:30 pm we will distribute the remaining fundraiser funds to those on board as a ticket rebate.   The boat will return to dock at 1:00 pm.

After the cruise, friends may gather at Shooters on the Water just a short way down the Boardwalk, visit the Greater Cleveland Aquarium, or plan other activities on their own.

The 2014 Luncheon Cruise will be the seventh retirement recognition that ACCESS has held.   The first two dinners were held at the Independence Holiday Inn.   The last four were on the Nautica Queen.
