The spring season has finally arrived, although it may not feel like it just yet! Here in Club 50 we are more than ready to say goodbye to the winter weather. We know our Club 50 members are ready to get back into their travel swing again, and Lynne and I could not agree more!
Being that it is April, it is hopefully safe to say we are out of reach for any blizzards in our near future. But speaking of snow and blizzards…March proved to do just the opposite of going in like a lion and out like a lamb. It felt more like going in like a lion and out like a grizzly bear - with the weather we had. Our first trip of the year was unfortunately snowed out not just once, but twice! We were so saddened to have to eventually cancel our “Irish for a Day” trip planned for March. It seems as if our luncheon to see Gerry Malone & The Lads was just not in the cards for us. Our members' safety and comfort always comes as a first priority. It has now been reaffirmed to us that winter weather in New England (including all of March) can be too tricky to predict around this area.
That being said, our excitement has continued to build up to getting back on the road again with all familiar friends and fellow travelers! Our members will not have to wait too much longer as the next trip is right around the corner. On Friday, April 20th, The Club is heading into Boston for our sold-out Boston Symphony Orchestra day trip. Our day includes tickets to a matinee show at Boston Symphony Hall featuring Chopin & Mendelssohn, followed by an early dinner at Sip Wine Bar and Kitchen in the city. We cannot wait!
If you are not joining us at Symphony Hall, but ready to get back to traveling… no need to worry, we have plenty more trips coming your way! We just opened the signup for two upcoming trips in May, and both still have spaces available. The first of the two calls for all of our Club 50 walking devotees. On Tuesday, May 8th, we will be heading back into the city, but this time we will spend the day along the Freedom Trail for a walking tour. We begin the day at the Boston Common and will follow our city guide all along the iconic red brick trail. The city which most of us are lucky to call home, is filled with history and culture. There is always something new to see and explore in Boston, so dust off those sneakers and join us for a day! A guilt-free lunch will follow at the pride of Long Wharf, Chart House Boston. Please refer to the Forms panel on the left-hand side of the page for the trip flyer and further details.
The month of May also holds another trip for our Club members. Instead of staying in Massachusetts we decided to head a little north and a little west, to get a taste of the great outdoors. Can you take a guess where we are headed? Upstate New York - right in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains! A three-day/two-night stay, May 20-22nd at Stony Creek Ranch Resort , is the perfect amount of time to experience all this resort destination has to offer. Think nature walks, horse trails, camp fires, heated pools, Lake George, hands-on craft classes, line dancing lessons and much more! Check out our Club 50 Opportunities for more details!

Let the fun trips and events carry on!
