An Evening at Home…with Art & Soul
Wed-May 2

Embassy Suites Ballroom

We will begin the evening by enjoying a fabulous selection of grand hors d'oeuvres prepared by the Embassy Suites Master Chef. A no-host bar will be available for your discerning palate.

Ranger Industries will then guide us through an embellishment process as we convert a plain fiberboard box into a wonderful recipe card file keepsake. The box contains dividers for your special recipe categories. All supplies will be provided Ranger.

Please bring recipes to swap! Size is 4x6 – they do not have to be decorated. Please bring 60 copies.

Cost is $55--limited to 60 people.

TRANSPORTATION INFO

The Hampton Roads Embassy Suites does not currently offer a shuttle service from the surrounding airports, but you have a number of options available to you.  Of course, you may rent a car, or you may contact one of the shuttle/cab services listed below.  Please note that the Embassy Suites does have a shuttle available to take guests within a 5-mile radius of the hotel, which is handy if you're not renting a car and just want to get to a store or restaurant in the area.

If you are flying into the Newport News/Williamsburg Airport:
They do not have a shuttle service available, but there are cabs you can take: 
Yellow Cab Service - 757-887-1111 - $20.00 - $22.00 one way
(can call ahead but it’s not necessary; they are already waiting there for arrivals).
 
Associated Cab Service - 757-887-3412 - $25.00 - $28.00 one way
(can call ahead but it’s not necessary; they are already waiting there for arrivals

If you are flying into the Norfolk International Airport:
Norfolk Airport Express – 800-643-2197 or 1-757-857-5950 (Reservations REQUIRED, at least one day in advance)
$33 one way; $60 roundtrip (same price whether it’s one, two or three traveling together)

The same price applies for a reservation of between 1-3 people (they can fit them into a sedan), so it would be worth it to try and coordinate with others flying in or out at around the same time!  Any parties of 4 or more, just add $8 to that additional person (so a party of 4 one-way would cost $33 plus $8, a party of 5 would be $33 plus $16, etc.)   You MUST call ahead, at least one day in advance.   



The Embassy Suites will be offering BUFFET LUNCHES for $8.95, and will also be offering DINNER SPECIALS for A & S attendees. Details will be provided by the hotel when we arrive.

And to soothe your 'soul', the hotel has the Spa Botanica Day Spa at your service, so you can pamper yourself in-between those creativebursts! To learn more, go to their website at http://tinyurl.com/ywxhtp  then scroll down to Features & Highlights. Or you can call them directly at 757-213-8510.   Go ahead, pamper yourself!!
