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.:-):-)

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.
 
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.
