Germany Trip 2018 Deadline

Germany Trip 2018 Deadline

October 27, 2017 By Germanna Leave a Comment

The time has come for those intending to travel to their ancestral villages in Germany in 2018 to send their deposits to reserve a place. Space is limited, and many have already sent deposits.

The itinerary is tentative, and is completed only when tour leaders Barbara Price and E.K. Mello know the roster of travelers and which villages their ancestors emigrated from.

The non-refundable deposit of $200 is due at the Germanna Foundation office by check or credit card by 1 December 2017. The Foundation must reserve the group airline seats that month.

Call the Foundation at 540-423-1700 Mon-Fri, 10a-4p or mail your check to The Germanna Foundation, PO Box 279, Locust Grove, VA 22508-0279

Don’t miss this wonderful heritage travel opportunity! For more information, go to our Travel to Germany page. Also planned is a 2019 river cruise in Germany. Fill out the form on that page to let us know you’re interested.
