2000 Meeting
The 46th NSWFD annual
meeting
The historic Wayside Inn in Middletown, Virginia where we stayed was all it had been said to be and then some. The three banquet dinners served were excellent and the speakers and music programs that followed were outstanding.
Our tour of three of the historic Warner Washington homes on Saturday was a real treat. The present owners graciously opened their homes and invited us in. At Llewellyn we were their guests for lunch. How nice!
At Llewellyn a large cast bronze plaque mounted on a gray granite monument was dedicated at the site where Warner Washington II and his wife Sarah are buried.
Our memorial service to remember our members that had passed on since our last meeting was held at the grave site.
Sunday after the church service, we visited George Washington's surveying office in Winchester and then had a picnic lunch in the garden at Glen Burnie, and then toured the house. It is a magnificent historic house in Winchester.
We all said our goodbyes after breakfast Monday morning and began making plans for next years meeting.
