We will leave from the University Church parking lot at 8:00 a.m. sharp on April 12 for Gee's Bend. We will need to pay at least $7 per person for gas plus a donation to Aroine Irby's Educational Foundation. I am leaving the amount that one donates up to each individual/couple. Please bring a "sack" lunch. Water will be provided by Charles and Dianne. If we decide to cross the ferry into Camden there is a $2.00 or $3.00 charge per person plus $6 for the bus which includes the driver. I would like for the Vintage Violets to wear their colors - not requiring hats. Dress comfortable. The bus trip takes about 2 hours. Depending on how long we stay we may decide to stop somewhere on the way home for dinner. At this point we have 17 people going.
Note from Sylvia: Dr. Irby volunteered to take us on this tour and he is not charging a set fee but is only asking for a donation to his foundation that sends poor students from Gee's Bend to college. I do not have any idea how much a tour guide would cost per person if we were to hire them for a trip but please be generous in donating if at all possible.
