Hopefully the weather
in April will be better than it was in the last few times we planed to fly to Fulton (FTT). We'll have an early
lunch at a really good restaurant named Beks. Then take our rental transportation to the Winston Churchill Memorial
and Library located on the campus of Westminster College. This is the site of Churchill's famous Iron Curtain speech.
The memorial was founded in 1969 to honor the life and legacy of one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century.
It is housed within the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury, a 12th century church, redesigned by Sir Christopher
Wren in 1677. The church was relocated to Fulton from the middle of London.
Cost: Adults - $6.00, seniors, AAA, AARP - $5.00.
Since we will be leaving from the airport and need transportation, it is definitely necessary to know how many
people we will have join us. Please plan your arrival by 1100 since we will have lunch at 1130 before going to
the Winston Churchill Memorial. Let Sue Smith know if you will be joining us. Call her at 636 274.3663 or send
her an email.
