SOCIAL EVENTS COMMITTEE LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK

The Social Events Committee just hosted a fun, well-attended gathering at Left Foot Charley this week.  We’re reviewing some other new possibilities for this year.  Under consideration are things like the NautiCat, pickleball, a winery tasting room visit, and, of course, some more local pubs.  But we are looking for some feedback from members on a couple of outings to determine if there is enough interest to warrant planning them.   We like them a lot, but we need to measure how much enthusiasm there is from the membership. 

 

One is an away trip – to the Thunder Bay Maritime Museum in Alpena.  Many of you will recall that their director was at a recent Rotary meeting and told us of the shipwreck museum and glass-bottomed boat where you can see the sunken ships.  It would be an all-day event (takes 2-1/2 hours to get there), we’d arrange transportation (there would be a charge for that), the boat trip is 2 hours and costs $25, the museum and exhibits are free.  We’d leave in the morning, probably stop for dinner on the way home and be home early evening.  And we would need to do it sometime this summer, before 9/6.

 

The second one is for the Red Wings Red & White game during the training camp on Sunday afternoon, 9/13.  This game features the professional team split into two and includes those players trying out for the team.  It’s the premier event of the training camp.  We’d need to order tickets now for that game.

 

I need just an up or down, yay or nay, for the last two items – the Maritime Museum and the Red Wings game.   And if you think you’d like to include more than one person for either of them, tell us how many.

 

Please take a few seconds and help us by providing your input.  Contact me, Susan Kraus, at smk2000@earthlink.net.    Thanks so much.
