Travelites` Autumn Greeting

Members arrived from North Carolina and Georgia to the Midlands to the official Travelites` Autumn Greeting.    We had a brief bout with liquid sunshine after which it was pleasant for the remainder of the day/evening.   The replacement hot tub was very much enjoyed; it’s a great place to de-stress as was spending time with good people.   . Food included grilled London broil, steamed broccoli with cheddar, small potatoes sliced with garlic and black pepper, mixed greens with a variety of dressings, parmesan topped garlic toast, and for dessert, a huge fruit tart and black raspberry ice cream.   That was along with the garlic spinach dip, a variety of chips, crackers, etc. . Travelites is waiting till the final auction bids arrive to make the club’s pledges to the organizations we support. . The next event will be our Oktoberfest on October 1st with beer and wine tasting.  If no one can host this, Allen and I will be happy to.  The gathering begins @ 4 with the tastings starting @ 5:30 and Bavarian potluck @ 6 or so.  .
