This year marks another milestone for the majority of us, that being the celebration of our collective 65th birthday-an event truly worth celebrating! And we have selected a venue worthy of such an august celebration, one that also truly honors historic achievements, that being Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. The details at this time include the following: -Dates: Thursday, September 15 through Sunday, September 18 -Lodging: We have arranged for rooms to be held under the name of “Dartmouth ’68 65th Birthday Celebration” at the Williamsburg Lodge, where our room rate will be $169-199 per night, or at the Williamsburg Woodlands, with room rate of $119-139 which includes a continental breakfast. The Lodge is in the center of Colonial Williamsburg, with the Woodlands off to one side of the village. You will be responsible for paying the room rate directly when you make your reservation. -Admission Cost: For those staying on the premises, a $17 admission covers your cost of access to all of the facilities in the village for the duration of your stay. -Group Events: We are planning the following group events for attendees: -Thursday evening-informal dinner gathering after a day of travel; -Friday-Guided tours of Colonial Williamsburg are available. Golf, other outside activities, spas and lunch will be on your own, although we will likely be organizing golf together for those interested. Dinner Friday will be in one of the colonial taverns, with a colonial themed dinner; -Saturday-More tours of the town, with a possibility of a van to shuttle to Jamestown and Yorktown. Golf and other outdoor events will also continue. Dinner tonight will be our official “birthday” celebration dinner and finale banquet; -Sunday-our departure day, with no group events planned. -What we will need from you: -Please let me know by return email your thoughts and plans to join us for this celebration gathering, and how many of you there will be, as we need a head count to be able to plan appropriately for the meals and events. -As we refine the particulars for the group meals, we will be calling for a payment of your share of this cost up front, for those events in which you will be joining us; -If you have a particular interest in golf, a van to Jamestown/Yorktown, or other interests, please let me know.
