Cheers Social Group holiday Ugly Sweater Contest
Cheers Trip Opportunities: There isn’t much to report on the travel front, since most of the travel was for the holidays and going to be with family. We have a small group traveling to Costa Rica. They report having a great time and enjoying the fauna and flora of the country.
Several Cheers members are making plans to travel later this year. There is a lot of interest in the river cruises in Europe and sailing to Alaska. Free Spirit Vacations trips continue to be very popular. A number of Cheers members have signed up for the California Presidential Library tour Feb. 18-20. With the fires in California, they are wondering if the trip will go.
Others are staying closer to home by taking some of their many day trips. These include Barleens Variety Spectacular on Jan. 22, the play Anything Goes plus lunch at Organ Stop Pizza on Feb. 21, and Spring Training with the Cubs vs. the Diamondbacks on Feb. 25. The Spring Training trip has become a very popular annual event.
Cheers travel itineraries are open to all, since we utilize and partner with licensed travel agents. For more information, call Richard Lewin at 609-332-3915 or Donna Clucky at Free Spirit Vacations at 480-926-5547, Ext. 2.
Monthly Wine Tasting: On the second Wednesday of each month a club member hosts a wine tasting and potluck dinner in their home. Advance registration is required, and an $8 fee per person is collected to provide funds for the purchase of a variety of wine, selected and presented by the host/hostess. Anne Brunick serves as the activity leader, supporting and assisting monthly hosts.
Title I School Donations: Cheers provides charitable support to needy students at Hamilton High School and all Title I schools in Chandler. Voluntary donations of food, household items, and/or cash are provided monthly. If preferred, one may write a check directly to a school of your choice, specifying which activity you wish your contribution to be credited to. These donations are coordinated by Sally Wegryn, who can be reached at 203-470-0733, in collaboration with Hamilton Social Work staff, and are greatly appreciated in our community.
Dine Out: Dine Out is held on the fourth Wednesday of each month. Members dine out together at a selected restaurant in the community. This activity, coordinated by Robert Russo, provides opportunity to try new restaurants and perhaps new types of cuisine in the company of friends. Advance registration is required to confirm restaurant reservations.
Book Club: This group meets every third Tuesday at the Oakwood Library.
