Meeting Information
The Virginia Railroad Association will be having the 2020 Virginia Railroad Association meeting on October 1st & 2nd at the Omni Homestead Resort and Spa, located in Hot Springs, VA. We’ve spoken with the Omni who has assured us they are ready to begin hosting events again and have many initiatives to protect their guests. Here is a link to learn exactly what the Omni is doing.
We have an excellent room rate of $149 and we have a great event planned. Our golf tournament will be held at the Old Course on Thursday morning followed by a reception and dinner. Our annual business meeting will be on Friday followed by some great presentations. This should be a fantastic event.
