Current and Upcoming Special Donor Events

Several members of The 1607 Society were treated to a sail aboard Godspeed on October 16th  while the ship visited Yorktown’s Riverwalk Landing.

Yorktown Day was celebrated with donors at the Yorktown Victory Center.  Guests visited a colonial medicine station and weapons station  and experienced a mortar fire and artillery demonstration in the re-created Continental Army Encampment.

Phil Emerson, Executive Director of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, presents Patrick Duffeler with a glass charger with an artists' rendering of the Godspeed.

Ann Clark, Dottie Nichols and Susan Murfee enjoy the 1607 Society reception at the Williamsburg Winery.

Patrick and Françoise Duffeler of the Williamsburg Winery recently hosted a reserve wine tasting and tapas reception for members of The 1607 Society, the premiere membership program that provides support for Jamestown Settlement and the Yorktown Victory Center.   At the event, the Duffelers unveiled a new wine called Virginia Merlot 2007 with the Virginia Company seal on the label.  A portion of the sales of this wine will benefit the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, Inc., Annual Fund. The new merlot will be available in late October.
