Did you enjoy your St. Patrick’s Day? How would you like to extend that celebration?
Ruth Rudnick – who’s coordinating our September 18-28 Ireland adventure – made a special appearance at our corned beef and cabbage lunch at the Chateau on our March day trip to Reagle Theatre’s A Little Bit of Ireland.
She noted there’s still plenty of time to sign up. And Karen and I want to fill that space – the more, the merrier! – so we’re happy to share that we can continue to take reservations, space available, through early June!
We published the trip details and reservation form in last December’s eNewsletter, and we held the Ireland presentation with Ruth at January’s Travel Seminar, but with a lot of people being so busy over the holidays and many people spending much of the winter in Florida (or other sunny environs!), some of you may have missed it! The Forms section on the left has the reservation info; for the day-by-day itinerary, just click on Club 50 in red on the left. And of course you can always call, email, or stop by for the details! We are signing up, space available, until early June.
In addition to that big trip, we have so much going on during Club 50’s 20th anniversary year! First, a few updates:
- As those of you who signed up for The Glamour Girls April 16 trip know, they unfortunately had a last-minute cancellation; instead, we are heading to Historic Deerfield (see the reservation form on the left and trip details in “Club 50 Opportunities”).
- We also just found out our October day trip will feature a different musical: Since The Honeymooners is going straight to Broadway, Goodspeed Musicals will present the premiere of A Wonderful Life: The adaptation of the beloved Frank Capra film It’s a Wonderful Life features book and lyrics by Tony, Grammy, and Pulitzer Prize winner Sheldon Harnick (who co-created Fiddler on the Roof) and music by Grammy and Emmy Award winner Joe Raposo.
- And thanks to help from our Club 50 Advisory Board, we’re also happy to announce we are definitely going to the Rose Parade (see “On the Go and In the Know” for details)!
And a few reminders:
- First-day-sign-up is April 10 for Niagara Falls June 8-11. Get here early; this looks to be a popular trip!
- First-day-sign-up is April 17 for our May 17 day trip – the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad plus another treat! (see “Save the Date” for details; the reservation form is on the left).
- Also don’t forget to call Karen by April 24 if you want to join us for The Residence at Watertown Square’s Open House for Club 50 Members on April 28!
And finally, we have had so many requests for the lyrics to Club 50’s version of “On the Road Again” – our Club 50 theme song! – we are happy to oblige one more time (and thanks again to Andrea Goldstein, Martha Rotondi, Sharon Lacasse, and Peggy Anderson for penning these contest-winning words). Be ready to belt it out with pride on our next trip!
On the road again
Club 50’s on the road again
The life we love is traveling with our friends
And making new ones by trip’s end.
On the road again
Club 50’s members are on the go again
Sharing thoughts along the way on when the
Next bathroom stop will come our way
On the road again
Club 50’s on the road again
Friendships we made are here to stay
Sharing laughter and songs along the way
On the road again
Club 50’s on the road again
Love traveling with our friends
And eating dinner with them at 4 pm
On the road again
Club 50’s members are on the road again
We were happy and we cheered
When we heard bread pudding would be here
On the road again
Club 50’s is anxious to be on the road again
Before darkness falls upon us then
So that we can be home and in bed by 10.
