Hello All Coastal Ski & Outing Club Members,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL OF YOU!!! 

By the time you are reading this letter, I will be on the Royal Caribbean, "Alure of the Seas" probably having a Bloody Mary or some other exotic umbrella drink! And getting ready for the costume pary on the ship. Don't feel sorry for me.......  somebody has to keep the cruise lines in business! ;-))

WOW!!!   What a great job Tina Ballard and Bernie Velky did with activties for October! There were several things going on every week!  I sure hope you got involved and enjoyed getting together with other Club members and participated!  The Halloween Party was a great success - decorations were AWESOME!  Thank you to all who decorated and dressed up and participated!

AWESOME NEWS!!!  Joe Calabretta has accepted the position of Vice President of Activities!!!   THANK YOU, JOE!!  Let's all help make his job easier by volunteering for a month of coordinating activities.   We need Activity Coordinators for February and March.  Please let  Joe or me know if you can help.

Joe and Kathy Calabretta are our November Activity Coordinators, and BOY! are we going to EAT WELL in November.   It's like we will be on a world tour with all the different dinner selections we will go to - think Italian, Mexican, German, and of course, our Thanksgiving Dinner at Barefoot Bristo.  Please don't forget to sign up for that.   The Club will pick up 1/2 the tab for your Thanksgiving Dinner.  You will only pay $10, and you can't beat that!!

Be sure to sign up for all the activities in which you want to participate. ALSO,  as activities sometimes get changed and/or added, please continue to look at the Club website often.  I always feel bad when something gets changed to a different date or whatever, and a member goes to the wrong place or on the wrong date.  Please check the website often.  And, as always, if you registered, and then your plans change, please remember to cancel your registration.  If you don't know how to do this, ask me for the handout of "how to navigate the website".  It is VERY HELPFUL!!

 John Schwartz  is still coordinating (with Holidaz rep) some exciting BIG TRIPS, like a Rhine River Cruise in April of 2023 and another trip to Ireland in September 2023. Rhine River Cruise is SOLD OUT!   THE iRELAND TRIP is a good opportunity for you to introduce some of your friends and/or relatives to join the Club and join us on one or both of these trips. IN ORDER TO GO ON A TRIP WITH THE CLUB, YOU MUST BE A MEMBER OF THE CLUB!  We have a wonderful time, and traveling with a group is as good as it gets!  Deposits for these trips should be made payable to "Coastal Ski & Outing Club".  This will assure you a spot on the trip.  Deposit for Ireland trip is $350 (total cost of the 8-day trip will be $3000-$3500pp (double occupancy).  This INCLUDES airfare. 

We are at Barefoot Bristo in Barefoot Landing, (NMB) for our Thanksgiving Dinner & Meeting on November 15  (6:00pm) - Cost to you is $10 for dinner.  I hope to see you there.  We will be selling tickets for the Christmas Party, ($65) so remember to bring extra cash or a check.  Looking forward to seeing everyone again.  Stay safe and stay happy!.
