Day trip to the Morikami Japanese Gardens scheduled for
Friday, February 19.
GUIDED TOUR WITH DOCENT
We have arranged for a tour with docent which will begin at 10:15 am and continue for 1 ½ hours, walking through magnificent gardens, learning about bonsai arrangements, resting and relaxing, and even having some time to wander through the gift shop.
Admission
The cost for a senior or a member of our group would be $11.72 (Includes tax) which would be paid at the door upon entry. You do not have to sign up before, although that would be most helpful to us in case of any changes.
DINING OPTIONS
The open-air cafe on the terraces overlooks the tranquil gardens and serves a Pan-Asian inspired menu from 11 am to 3 pm. Special arrangements can be made for 15 or more. There is also an air-conditioned area.
The Cafe serves a variety of appetizer items such as sweet potato tempura for $4.25, miso soup for $1.95, cold tofu for $3.25, house salad of mixed greens at $2.95, vegetable gyoza which are 8 pieces of vegetable and tofu dumplings at $4.95, and even 2 egg rolls with for $3.50. There are sushi rolls ranging in price from $4.00-5.95, with a variety from california roll, fresh salmon roll, tempora shrimp rolls and more. Dessert and beverages are also available. We have found that the soup, salad, and dumplings or sushi make a lovely lunch.
They have a paid in advance bento box lunch which costs $16. There is a charm about this luncheon, BUT it is expensive, must be paid in advance, and there is no refund.

Upon exiting from Century Village, turn RIGHT to the Turnpike heading south. Continue to Exit 81, Atlantic Avenue. Turn LEFT at West Atlantic, 806W, and RIGHT at Carter Rd/Jog Rd. RIGHT turn on Morikami Park Rd and continue to entrance. Maximum driving time should be 40 minutes. We suggest carpooling to increase socialization and save gas.

# I have not heard from anyone who would be interested in an Easter dinner on Sunday, April 4th. If you are interested, please contact me at LynnSevan@aol.com so that we can look into the feasibility of sharing the holiday as a group. We will need a Dinner Chairperson.
# Passover is in the works. As soon as the information becomes available, I will contact everyone.
# A note of clarification. Please do not send me a list of people to add on to the Boomer email list. Everyone must email me individually. This gives me permission to add them and use their email to inform them of our activities. The Boomer list is for activity information directly from me and may not be used by anyone else or for any other purpose. No solicitations or other informationals are acceptable. Use the Boomer Blog to post and put any information you wish for other Boomers.
I have been checking my Florida phone every couple of days and I am calling potential Boomers back. However, Boomers must have access to email if they want information. We have expanded beyond my wildest imagination and I am thrilled that we have so many Baby Boomers in CV. Again, for those of you that I have not met yet, I look forward to seeing you soon.
Until then,
Lynn
