Dear Boomers,

I hope this note finds everyone both healthy and happy. I have been missing and thinking about you all as I plan for our next season together. We have some wonderful activities planned for the coming season.

Currently in the planning stage are a Thanksgiving, Passover and Easter Dinner. So save the dates. Our first meeting will be 3 PM in the Meeting Room on the main floor of the Clubhouse on Wednesday, December 15th. All meetings will be held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 3 PM. Of course, we will be asking our Boomers to volunteer to plan activities, so bring all your ideas to our 1st meeting.

Our Annual Picnic will be on Duck Island at 12:30 on Wednesday, January 5th. More information will be coming on all these activities.

An inside cabin is $820 per person double occupancy. An outside cabin is $1140 per person double occupancy. Remember this is a NINE night cruise and what it includes. I have already booked and given my deposit as I love this itinerary.

Change in our meeting time and place but not the day.   We will meet on Wednesday, February 17 at 4:15 in the Meeting Room on the main floor of the Clubhouse.  When you walk in, it is off to the left.  This will allow us more room.

 

We will have our end of the season picnic on Duck Island, Saturday, March 27th at 12:30 PM. Please mark your calendars now to save the date.   This is a bring your own lunch, chairs, tablecloths, etc.  We generally do not barbeque but that is up to each Boomer individually.  If the weather is not cooperating, you will have an email from me by 11:30 that morning to cancel.

 

The Passover Seder is in the final stages and you will have an email soon with all the details.

We still have some weeks left to plan some very exciting events.  I will be asking for volunteers at the meeting.

 

I look forward to seeing you all.

 

Until then,

Reminders

Hi everyone,

 

 

We are back in town and while you are wearing winter jackets and feeling cold, we left NY in 22 degrees with a blizzard on the way, so we are thrilled.  Here are some reminders and new information:

 

Golden Corral, this Thursday, 4:30 PM.  RSVP to LynnSevan@aol.com

 

Boomer Meeting, 3 PM, Feb 17 in the Clubhouse, Classroom B.   I have had some feedback that there was solicitation of private enterprises at the last meeting.  This is unacceptable.  Do not bring any brochures or private agendas to our meeting.   This is a social group only not for any business purpose.

Day trip to the Morikami Japanese Gardens scheduled for

Friday, February 19.

Hi everyone,

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year and that this year is filled with health and all good things.  Here is some information:

 

• If you still want to attend the Wildlife Sanctuary tour and/or dinner ( this Thursday, Jan 7 ), please contact Zach and Hetty at zacharymdavies@yahoo.com    This is the last call for the trip.  Make sure your subject line is titled Baby Boomers.
• Keep Wednesday, January 20th available for a 3 PM meeting in Clubhouse room B for a Boomer meeting to plan dates for more events.  Please bring your social calendars with you so we can plan accordingly.
• Monday, March 29th and Sunday, April 4, we will be celebrating Passover and Easter.  This will be discussed at the Jan 20th meeting and finalized at the Feb 17th meeting.  All are invited to both.
• Thursday, Feb 11 at 4:30, we will be having dinner at the Golden Corral on 441.  That information has already been sent.  You do not have to rsvp for that until after Feb 8th.  I am happy to report that I will be back on the 8th of Feb and look forward to seeing you all at this dinner. 
• Franne and Marlene have arranged for us to have the use of the Party Room in the Clubhouse on Thursday, Feb 4th at 4 PM for a pot luck dinner and games.  Entry will be a dish for 6 people and you will want to bring your games.  Please rsvp to coordinate your pot luck dish and your games with Franne or Marlene.  They prefer that you reach them by phone.  Franne 478-9526 or Marlene 684-3663.  Sounds great, so mark your calendars, call to rsvp and enjoy.

I am not enjoying the cold, snowy weather but am very much enjoying my grandchildren as we wait for our new baby coming this Thursday.  I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you all in February.

 

Until then,

 

Lynn

Single Female Boomer looking for same

I am a single female boomer. Since there are a lot of couples in this group, I am looking for other single females to partner up with to attend some of the events.......I find this more comfortable than going on my own when many in the group are "pairs" - please email linda99@ican.net and put Boomers in the subject line.

I am also looking for females who want to get together for lunches, flea market visits, beach visits etc. etc. marital status unimportant.

Roz.
