“In early November I started getting calls asking if I thought we might be able
to do our annual ‘FLORIDA’ trips? Well, I knew at the time that the ‘Sandcastle’
had not started their renovation project and would not be starting anytime soon.
Therefore, it just came down to the ‘current conditions’ as February approaches.
After a few more inquiries -- I agreed that I would get it scheduled and work in
that direction...hopefully, seeing a rebound from the pandemic in the meantime.?.
I look forward to ‘fresh air’, ‘warmer weather’ and much needed SUNSHINE!”

A variety of area ‘Attractions’ and ‘Side-trips’ will be optional!
I’m planning a few new locations ‘focusing on outdoors’ (open space) attractions. These outings are ‘optional’ with a description/discussion along with ‘sign-up’ en route down.... and, then sometimes, just something ‘Spur-of-the-Moment’ to do!

‘MYSTERY’ LUNCH “Fun, Food and Fellowship!”
|
“ Well, we were certainly ‘Fooled’ in ‘2020'... But, let’s try again! ”
Without a doubt ‘2020' brought us more ‘Mystery’ than we could have ever imagined.?.
And, unfortunately, very ‘heartbreaking’ for so many. We promise to make this little getaway
relaxing and enjoyable as we fellowship together....of course, with ‘social distancing’, as needed!
Lebanon / Indy - $78 Lafayette - $84

‘Tulip Time’ Festival ~ Holland, MI
|
A Great Little ‘Mother’s Day’Get-Away....A True ‘Dutch’ Treat!
Again, another ‘re-schedule’ *.... that is, as long as there is no need for ‘them’ to cancel!
Unfortunately, the “Festival Committee” does not have ‘final details’ completed at this time.
* As a result of re-scheduling, ‘sign-up’ is first open to those who had reservations for our ‘2020' trip.
Therefore, I need each of you to ‘confirm your interest in going’ at your earliest convenience!
Others ‘interested’ please call to continue (or, to be added) on the current ‘Standby List’.

Obviously, this is a very abbreviated ‘MAILING’. At this time, I plan to send another one in early ‘APRIL’ -
once we have a better idea of ‘Covid’ conditions. Please let us know if you have no interest in receiving
future mailings. I realize things change in our lives and you may no longer be interested (or able) to travel.
