Hotel Occupancy
We continue to do well with out occupancy of the Sheraton Bloomington, our home for many years. This year saw us actually go over the 500-room mark, inching ever closer to 100% occupancy of the hotel's 564 rooms, and once again exceeding our expected room night count handily.
Here is the room occupancy by night:
| Wednesday | 06/29 | 11 | |
| Thursday | 06/30 | 130 | (9 more than 2004) |
| Friday | 07/01 | 501 | (8 more than 2004) |
| Saturday | 07/02 | 508 | (11 more than 2004) |
| Sunday | 07/03 | 130 | (63 more than 2004)* |
| Monday | 07/04 | 6 | |
| Tuesday | 07/05 | 1 | |
| Total | 1287 | ||
At this rate, we are likely going to fill the building in 2007. Thanks to everyone who helps us meet our contracted room occupancy of 425 each year.
