Trip News. Stephanie will be giving final details of our
upcoming Williamsburg trip on May 24th - 26th. If you haven't already
contacted her about this trip, and you would like to join, please contact
her immediately. Stephanie's a stickler for details and it looks
like she's got a great trip put together. Maybe she can arrange for

Trip Destinations & Dates.
Dog Island, Alabama will
be our next trip in October. Jim Clark is trip captain and while I
believe the trip is full, if you are interested, at least let him know in
case of cancellations.
Lunch-Bunch News. Once again, we had to postpone the lunch
bunch to Sunday but was it ever worth the wait. We had almost 30 folks
fly in for a spectacular time at Callaway Gardens.
May 17th we head to Hilton Head Island, SC (KHXD). Please plan on
arriving between 10:30 and 11:00 AM LOCAL so we can get everyone over to the
Westin. Signature will shuttle folks to the Westin's Carolina Cafe for
a beachside lunch. The Cafe will offer a limited menu for ease of
service. If you are interested in staying over or would like to do
explore activities on the island, Mike at Signature will be happy to help
with any arrangements. Please call 843-689-3200. As always,
please RSVP to
lunchbunch@platt.org
with headcount, by Friday, May 16th.
Lunch Bunch plans are in place for 2008; reserve the 3rd Saturday each month
to join us. Watch for location announcements in future newsletters and
emails.
