Boat Cruise for IIT! The Floating Fun!

Hello again! I'm back with more updates on IIT fun! This past Friday night we had a spectacular event, the Casino Boat Cruise! Residence Hall Association, along with other IIT groups, organized a full on boat cruise on the Odyssey, one of the largest boats on the Five Great Lakes. The Odyssey's kitchen staff presented a delicious cuisine. After the food, the party started! For those that wanted to shake it up, the dance floor was rocking to the DJ's music, and for those that wanted show their tricks under their sleeves, the Casino was open for people to play poker, blackjack, and roulette. And for those that just wanted the week's working stress to float away and just chill out, the boat's deck was open for amazing views of the Chicago Skyline. As if this weren't enough already, the boat cruise ended with an auction. People could bid for prizes and the highest bidder could win an ipod nano, a 19" Tv, an all in one scanner/copier, and more! It was one of the most amazing nights, and this is just the beginning!
