April 2013

Dear Rich,

Springtime represents renewal and vibrancy and an opportunity to showcase all that our great region has. It also allows the Sheraton to emerge from the depths of a long winter and begin a season of celebration , that includes wedding receptions, family reunions and social gatherings.

Opportunities abound locally. Golf, boating, festivals and the enjoyment of fantastic summers allow the local community and our guests to stay and relax in our city and surroundings. Destiny USA, the mega shopping/entertainment venue also brings diverse opportunities for all ages when visiting this region.

Unique restaurants and shops downtown along with our improved landscape give all visitors a reason to relax, enjoy and celebrate all of the region's assets.

Thank you for considering the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel and Conference Center for all of your needs.

Sincerely, David Heymann General Manager

Charity for Children

On Monday, March 25th, the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel held their Sheraton Associates Bowling for Charity event. The event took place at Erie Lanes. All donations were given to the local organization, Charity for Children, Inc. Charity for Children provides educational and financial support to needy families of the Central New York region with children who have disabilities, disorders and diseases. This organization stands out because it relies solely on donations from sponsors in order to help out the families in need.

Charities for Children focuses on providing financial and educational assistance to the families with children who have "fallen through the cracks." Charities for Children is aimed at helping the families when government assistance is unable to provide help. The organization's efforts focus on intervention, medical referrals, advocacy and providing services directly to children.

Ingredients:

3 oz. of pale ale

3 oz. of demi stock

To Prepare:

Boil pale ale to reduce by 1/3

Boil demi stock to reduce by one 1/3
