Northeast Area: VISIT VERMONT!!!! This invitation is open to all NASCOE members: Vermont is hosting the 2010 Northeast Area Rally and VASCOE is inviting everyone to join us in the beautiful Green Mountain State. The Rally runs from May 7th thru the 9th, with a full schedule of events planned. The weekend is Mother’s Day weekend, so bring your spouse for a special treat, and bring your kids...or not! We are gearing up to make this a rare opportunity for attendees to kick back, relax, and be pampered at one of the Northeast’s premier destination resorts. The Basin Harbor Club is located in rural Vergennes, situated along the shores of Lake Champlain. Please take a look at what awaits you at [www.basinharbor.com]! The festivities will begin on Friday, with a golf tournament teeing off at noon for the early arrivals. There will be a hospitality cabin set up for evening socializing, featuring a traditional Vermont sugar-on-snow party. Saturday breakfast is a buffet style spread beginning at 7, high-lighted by local Vermont food products. The business meeting will run from 8 to 12, and then it’s again time to feast at the Taste of Vermont Lunch Buffet. Following lunch, don’t miss the chance to join the tour of nationally acclaimed Shelburne Farms [www.shelburnefarms.com]. The beautifully restored farm buildings surrounded by 1900 acres of pristine farmland will transport you back to 19th century estate living. This will be followed by a visit to Nordic Farms, a state of the art dairy employing robotic milking machines. Saturday evening activities begin with a complimentary reception before dinner, followed by the Dinner Gala, and finishing up with more socializing during the Scholarship Auction and raffle drawing. Sunday morning continues the theme of great Vermont cuisine with another round of breakfast buffet, then its check out and head home, or extend your stay for a day or two at our specially negotiated price! We hope to see you here! |
