29th Annual Convention · July 23 – 25, 2026

Attending a Friends convention is a busy and uplifting experience. Much of the weekend is spent at the Embassy Suites, but Friday night (July 24th) is reserved for fun activities in the local community. We would love for you to join us!

Our planned activity on Friday evening from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM will be at Dave and Buster’s!
Dave and Buster’s has over 400 games, including shooting baskets, skeeball, Top Gun, Godzilla virtual reality, a human claw game, and much more! We will have a large private room so those who don’t want to play the games can kick back, relax and socialize with Friends.

How far is that from the hotel? The Rosemont Dave and Buster’s is less than a mile from the Embassy Suites. The exact address is 9870 Berwyn Street, Rosemont, IL 60018. Transportation details will be communicated later with everyone who signs up. 

Cost: $39.00/person

What’s Included:

• Games, games and more games!
• Delicious food! Buffet with cheese flatbread, smash burger sliders, garlic butter pretzel sticks, crispy chicken bites, french fries, seasonal fruit and fountain beverages.
• A $20 Ultimate Player Power Card for each person, plus an unlimited video game card

How to sign up and pay: If you are interested in attending, please contact Catey Easters at cateyeasters@gmail.com. She will provide payment details for Venmo, Zelle, etc.

Please RSVP by Friday, July 17th. We look forward to seeing you for what will be a fun filled evening!
