customized outdoor/indoor tour and tasting offers something for everyone. Learn the history of this winery now celebrating 25 years, view the

vines, hear how wines are made and if you prefer, sample some award winning beverages.

of green space. It

designed rooms and

suites. Each room is

named and patterned after

a different province of

Europe and is decorated

with antiques and paintings

to reflect the culture and

history of that province. All rooms feature wood-burning fireplaces, 10’ ceilings and king size beds.

Lunch will be served in one of their special dining venues, Café Provencal. Transportation provided.

What to Wear? Attendees should prepare for humid weather with high temperatures. Sometimes the air-conditioned rooms in the conference center are chilly at the start of events to compensate for the high exterior temperatures and the large groups expected.

Casual dress is appropriate for EUFMC daytime activities. Comfortable shoes are essential as many outdoor walkways in Williamsburg are brick or gravel.

For EUFMC evening events on Sunday and Monday, the dress code for gentlemen is jackets preferred, ties optional. Tuesday evening dinner is business casual; no shorts or jeans, please. Wednesday night we are celebrating the great state of Texas, so boots and Western wear are encouraged!

For the Sunday Golf Tournament on the Golden Horseshoe, shirts are provided. The shirts can be picked up at the EUFMC conference regis-tration desk on Saturday or at the tournament Sunday morning. Thank you for wearing your shirt for the tourney. Spouses participating in the Monday Golf Outing will want to dress in comfortable golf attire. Golf shoes may be rented from the Pro Shop.

To Help You Plan Your Visit

The EUFMC Name Badge: It’s Your Ticket! Why Badges? Badges are issued to those who have purchased a registration for the EUFMC.

Because we do not issue tickets for meals, wearing a name badge serves as your ad-

mission to functions sponsored by the EUFMC such as Sunday Tea and the Monday,

Tuesday and Wednesday dinners.

What About Children? Attendees are encouraged to bring their families to Williamsburg however, children

cannot register as EUFMC attendees as you must be an adult to purchase a confer-

ence registration. Children are welcome on the Saturday evening activity and the Sun-

day Afternoon Walking Tour. Children may also accompany you to view the Monday

equipment events. Children do not attend events that require a name badge for admis-

sion including the Sunday Tea and evening banquet dinners. Since alcoholic beverages

are served, children should not attend privately sponsored hospitality events. Need a

babysitter? Colonial Williamsburg hotel guests can reserve a trained, reliable, bonded

sitter in advance by calling 757.229.1000.

Tuesday Program for EUFMC Retirees

EUFMC retirees are invited to join John Sutton for a tour of Lamberts Point Coal Terminal. Lamberts Point is a Norfolk Southern railroad coal-loading terminal located on the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, Virginia. At the facility they load 48 million tons of coal annually aboard ships. The heart of the terminal is Pier 6, which has two shiploaders that permit the facility to load two vessels simultaneously. Safety glasses will be provided but tour participants will need to wear their own work boots. As always, transportation and lunch are provided. Want to go? Please email Ellen Sutton at ellensutton@cox.net.

What’s new in Williamsburg? In the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area the reconstruction of the James Anderson Blacksmith and Public Armoury is complete. The historic trades offer a fascinating view of artisans working with materials rarely seen. Visit the tin shop to see tin smiths at work. New at Busch Gardens: “London Rocks” a show that explores the roots of rock n’ roll. Like homemade donuts? Two new donut shops have opened: Emily’s Donuts on Merrimac Trail and Duck Donuts on Monticello Avenue. The Atlantic Ocean shore is 90 minutes away in Virginia Beach.
