Travelites' Autumn Greeting & Beyond
Members arrived from North Carolina and Georgia to the Midlands to the official 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; its 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. Of course, there were more than snacks to get everyone through the day.

Travelites is waiting till the final auction bids arrive to make the clubs pledges to the organizations we support.
