It’s Club 50’s 20^th anniversary so let’s start celebrating! We’re going to do just that right off the bat next Thursday, January 22, at our annual Travel Seminar.

Expect the festivities -- starting at 4 p.m. at the American Legion Post 440 -- to be a little fancier than usual. Also, Ruth Rudnick, who is presenting our Ireland trip, has offered a very fine gift as part of our raffle giveaways, and Karen and I will have a bunch of giveaways and other treats as well!

We’re also kicking off our 2015 day trips in style: Make sure to read the details of I Love Lucy! Live on Stage at the Providence Performing Arts Center under “Club 50 Opportunities.” (Just a tease: Lucille Ball will also factor into one of overnight trips this year.)

Our 2015 travel schedule is wonderfully busy: In addition to Ireland, the already-announced Mackinac Island, and February’s Providence day trip, we’re presenting more trips in total than we usually do – and we’re even offering a holiday mystery trip! This gives us all the more opportunity to celebrate 20 years of fun travels and great memories.

Hope you can join us next Thursday afternoon. (Although “officially” the deadline has passed to sign up for the seminar, please call Karen ASAP at 617-928-2337 if you want to come!)

And stay tuned for our other 20^th anniversary plans!
