National Council Meeting

Daughters of the British Empire National Council Meeting

We are proud to announce that our Council Meeting this May will be held at The Embassy

Suites in Alexandria, Virginia, a spacious hotel at the top of King Street and near the Amtrak

and local train stations. The closest Airport is Reagan/DCA. For those who prefer to drive, hotel parking is $25 per night.

Alexandria is a charming and historic city, across the river from Washington DC, and close

to George Washington’s Home, Mount Vernon. If you are bringing a family member along

with you, there is no shortage of nearby sightseeing and museums. Our hotel is on the edge

of Old Town: founded in 1749, it has beautiful architecture, unique shopping, lively waterfront,

and large selection of restaurants and pubs.

On Friday you will enjoy a buffet dinner arranged by our Virginia members in a favorite local pub/restaurant.

We were delighted to accept an invitation from the British Embassy in Washington DC for a

private tour of the house and gardens, followed by tea and biscuits. Numbers are limited

so please reserve early.

As usual, the agenda is full and there is much to discuss but we will make time to share news

of your members and States. Most importantly, we will have the opportunity to make new

DBE friends and meet with old familiar ones. I hope you are looking forward to Virginia as

much as we are.

Yours sincerely,

Susan J Gerrity, National President

Kearsley Rand, 1st VP

and all of your National Board

PS: The hotel ballroom has plenty of room for display tables. Remember to bring your items

for sale.
