"Come to the Mananita and spend the day."

We have a great day organized for all of the NoVa people who come to our Mananita. We have arranged to have our local "Clearwater Grill" open one hour early on Sunday, August 9. They will open at 8:00 a.m. for anyone who goes to the Mananita. They serve a terrific brunch buffet for 8.95. It will seem like a private breakfast party. And they are close to Camp Happyland where the Mananita will be. Clearwater Grill is on Rt. 3 W. We will give you directions at the Mananita.

After the brunch, everyone can go into downtown Fredericksburg to visit historic homes, (Kenmore, the home of Betty Washington, George's little sister. George really did sleep there. ) You may tour the home of Mary Washington, Ye Olde Apothecary Shoppe, ride the trolley around to the historic Battle of Fredericksburg places, have ice cream at Carl's....eat lunch at one of the small specialty restaurants, go antiquing, or see our small one-of-a-kind shoppes. There is also a Wegman's if you wish to pick up heavy hors d’oeuvres or drinks to share at the closing at St. Francis of Assisi just up Rt. 95 from Fredericksburg. St. Francis is next door to the main entrance to Quantico. Just go to the top of Fuller Road. St. Francis is on the top. The closing will be at 4:30 p.m. - no Mass - and in the School Lunch Room to the right of the parking lot.

So, take a day off for adventure...come for our Mananita, stay for the closing. Y'all support your "Southern" Cursillistas.

For those interested the Mass Schedule for our churches are:

St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception1009 Stafford Ave. Fredericksburg, VA 22401-5418
Saturday Vigil Masses - 5:00 and 7:00 p.m.

Also, Mimi tells me that some people are coming down on Saturday night and staying in motels similar to what was done at Mt. Zion.

Please tell everyone in NoVa...could be a great day!

Love and Prayers
Mary Lou
