MWR Celebrates the 65th Anniversary of the Bretton Woods Monetary Conference-Guests are Welcome to Participate in a Piece of Modern Day History

Mount Washington Resort, New England’s premier four-season destination, has announced plans to commemorate the 65th Anniversary of the Bretton Woods International Monetary Conference with a special Gold Standard package and a variety of activities throughout the weekend of July 24 – 26, 2009, including a panel discussion and special dinner reception on Saturday evening. The historical package includes a two-night stay at The Mount Washington Hotel, complete with daily breakfast and dinner, as well as a special commemorative gift. Rates start at $194.40 per person, based on double occupancy.

The Bretton Woods Conference, also known as the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference, was a meeting of delegates from 44 different countries to agree upon a post-World War II international monetary system. In the post-war economic depression, it was important for all nations to come to an agreement for peace and prosperity worldwide. Through this conference, they successfully established the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), which is currently part of the World Bank.

On Saturday, July 25, guests will be able to visit the Grand Ballroom to take part in a panel discussion regarding the International Monetary Conference. Moderator Myron Kandel, CNN’s founding financial editor, will moderate the discussion and help translate the events of the Bretton Woods Conference into terms that apply to today. Kandel will be joined by James Boughton, Historian of the International Monetary Fund based in Washington, DC; Joseph Brusuelas, an economist from Moody’s Economy.com; Jeffrey S. Coons, Co-Director of Research, Manning & Napier in Rochester, NY; and Ross Gittell, James R Carter Professor & Professor of Management, Whittemore School of Business and Economics, University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH. All guests and speakers will be a part of modern-day history, sitting exactly where the delegates actually sat for 22 days in July of 1944.

The most important aspect of this conference was the creation of the gold standard. By fixing the U.S. dollar to gold, foreign exchange become more efficient to promote economic growth. This helped strengthen the global economy and encourage international trade.

Also on Saturday, July 25, Mount Washington Resort will host a special dinner in the Dining Room. Executive Director of Food and Beverage, Chef Calvin Belknap, and his culinary team led by Executive Chef Edward Swetz will prepare the same six-course meal prepared for the delegates back in 1944 – but with a modern twist.

Mount Washington Resort is well into an extensive $50 million renovation project. “Everyone here at Mount Washington Resort, specifically The Mount Washington Hotel, is eager to show off our recent refurbishment,” said Patrick Corso, President and CEO of Mount Washington Resort. “The refurbishment has all been done to preserve the historic quality and sense of ‘place’ here in New Hampshire’s White Mountains.”

Coming soon to Mount Washington Resort - Mount Washington Organic Amber Ale!

That's right, Mount Washington Resort will soon have its own beer - a delicious organic amber ale, crafted by our friends at the Peak Organic Brewing Company. Mount Washington Organic Amber Ale will make its official debut at the Resort on July 4th!

Some notes from the brewer:

Tasting notes
A lively copper colored ale with a hint of caramel and roasted barley in the aroma. This delicious ale is well balanced, with a subtle sweet start and toasty finish. Medium bodied style, and 5% ABV makes this a tasty pairing with any food dish.

What makes this beer organic?
The ingredients are only sourced from USDA certified organic farms. No chemical fertilizers or toxic pesticides are used to grow the hops and barley. Drinking this beer supports organic farming, drastically reducing the amount of toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers contaminating farmland and water sources. This beer is produced in a certified organic brewery, meaning that no harmful chemicals or cleaning agents are used in the brewing process (simply purified water).

Mount Washington Resort Invites Guests to Celebrate Independence Day with a "Salute To Freedom" July 3-5, 2009

Imagine the smell of black powder, the crack and boom of musket fire . . . the sound of horses’ hooves and wagon wheels in the distance. The Second Regiment Light Dragoons, sabers at the ready, begin their long march into battle as part of General George Washington’s Continental Army in the War for Independence. Glimpse Betsy Ross as she stitches the very first American flag. And, listen to the fife and timeless rhythm of marching drums, and find yourself in Gettysburg, awaiting the famous address of President Abraham Lincoln as another chapter of freedom takes root on American soil. Mingle with historic figures, such as Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt; and imagine what it was like to live through their times and become a part of the fabric of America’s history. Mount Washington Resort is pleased to announce a special package, “A Salute to Freedom,” offered the weekend of Friday through Sunday, July 3-5, 2009. This special weekend will be a tribute to American soldiers from every American war, for over 200 years. The celebration includes demonstrations by the Second Regiment Light Dragoons and the United Train of Artillery, which was activated in 1774 and also served in the War of 1812 and American Civil War. There will be appearances of major historical figures in full costume --- you can pose with the former Presidents in a Mt. Rushmore photo opp --- plus storytelling, musical performances, period dance lessons, lectures, dining and a great mix of fun family activities, including a water balloon battle dubbed “The Battle of Wettysburg” --- a light-hearted invitation for guests to bring along their sense of humor, too. There will even be opportunities for the sampling of fine beverages, including the unveiling of Mount Washington Resort’s new signature organic ale. Saturday night, July 4th, will culminate in the “American Celebration Dance” featuring the Hal McIntyre Orchestra, a 1941 spin-off from Glenn Miller’s Orchestra that became a favorite band of American soldiers overseas and has been reborn to continue the dance sounds of the bygone era.

The “Salute to Freedom” package starts at $239 per person, per night for adults based on double occupancy and includes dinner, breakfast and lunch daily, including an American BBQ lunch on Saturday afternoon. This package includes the full slate of “Salute to Freedom” events, activities and entertainment planned for the weekend. The weekend of events and entertainment is exclusive to Mount Washington Resort guests on the “Salute to Freedom” package, and package guests also will have the chance to win a complimentary bi-plane ride for two on the afternoon of Saturday, July 4th, 2009. Current and retired U.S. Military personnel with a valid Military identification card receive a 10% discount on the “Salute to Freedom” package.

A full listing of “Salute to Freedom” activities and events can be found on the calendar listing at www.MountWashingtonResort.com. Reservations can be made by visiting www.MountWashingtonResort.com or calling 877.873.0626.
