Touring the Green Mountain State Since 1986!

Saturday June 12 Annual New Member Welcome Meeting
9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Double Tree Hotel, South Burlington
RSVP Today - [email protected]
Greetings!

We know that the Covid pandemic has affected us individually in a variety of ways. To a lesser degree the same can be said for the Green Mountain Region (GMR). One particular effect has been the inability to hold our New Member meeting since early 2019. As a result, we have a substantial number of new members -- including those who transferred to GMR from other PCA regions since May 2019 -- who have not been formally welcomed. Believe it or not that number is over 80 new members to GMR.

On Saturday, June 12 the GMR will host the 2021 New Member Welcome meeting at the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel in South Burlington. There is no organized tour for this event: members may draw up their own interesting drive to and from South Burlington! (Note: the hotel is offering a discounted rate if you wish to stay overnight the night before, June 11 at $119. Mention you want the "Burlington Business Rate.")

In recent years this annual event has drawn upwards of 70 attendees consisting of “newbies” as well as established members. The 2020 event was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic resulting in the unprecedented number of new GMR members to welcome in 2021. We are pleased to be able to schedule an in-person event for this year. However, the State of Vermont’s Covid restrictions compel us to limit the number of attendees to no more than 100 participants. 

While we expect to have a good showing of new members, this event is open to all members. A breakfast buffet will be provided at no charge to you, and will be followed by an informal meeting to update members on club activities and opportunities, as well as the chance to visit among the members.

Time: 9.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. (The breakfast buffet will be served at 10.00 a.m.)

RSVP: Email [email protected] by 5.00 p.m. on June 4th.
