Michael Lonergan, the Irish consul-general, will offer remarks during the Buckleyceremony.

The Logan  Airport website describes transportation options and the shuttle service is probably the most economical.  
1. Supershuttle  $55.00 for first person; possible discount on additional riders
2. Kings Shuttle $60.00 for first person and 10% discount for additional.  3. Day and Knight Transportation  $55.00 for first person, $60.00 for 2.
The route is only 19+ miles.  The route is almost all highway with no Boston local left -turn issues. The Mass Pike is a toll road. While the shuttles are expensive, keep in mind that our hotel is a bargain.  If we were in Boston proper, the cost of the hotel would be more than $150.00.
• The ride from Logan to the hotel takes about 30 minutes (likely more with traffic).
> • The hotel does not offer a shuttle service to the airport.
> • A taxi will charge about $75 for the journey.
> • The hotel has suggested a car service, called U.S. Taxi, phone (508) 494-1015, which will charge about $55. Mention “Lisa from the Sheraton Needham” to get the special rate.
> • Mass transit is available but complicated, involving bus, several trains and a 10-minute taxi ride at the end.
> • Rental cars may be an attractive alternative.
Our auction this year is the silent variety. Displays of items for bid will be in the Suffolk room on Friday, with winning bids announced on Saturday evening after Bill Miller’s presentation.
