2022 W5 FOC Gathering – April 28 -May 1 in Fredericksburg, Texas

After having to cancel the 2020 and 2021 W5 FOC gatherings due to Covid it is time to get together again! We are looking forward to seeing many of our FOC friends and their spouses the last weekend in April at the Inn on Barons Creek in Fredericksburg, Texas. This is the same location where we met in 2017.

You can make reservations at the W5FOC group rate by calling the hotel at 830 990 9202. If you are unsure of your plans don’t be reluctant to make a reservation as you can cancel up to 48 hours before your first night. Rates are $194 for Friday and Saturday and $119 for other nights. Fredericksburg is a popular tourist destination.

Check out their website at: https://www.visitfredericksburgtx.com/things-to-do/. Of particular interest is the world class National Museum of the Pacific War which is only two blocks from our hotel. Nearest major airports are Austin and San Antonio.

Details on group activities, plus an early arrival dinner Thursday night, our big banquet Saturday evening, and a members meeting Sunday morning, can be found on the official W5 weekend website: ac4ca.us/w5foc/
