Welcome to Y’s Men’s
TRIPS and EVENTS
The Trips and Events Committee organizes numerous and varied outings for the pleasure of club members.
Examples are monthly dinners at area restaurants, visits to area museums, art galleries, estates and gardens, sporting events, theatre and entertainment events, industrial tours, excursions. Occasionally we'll charter a bus for a trip of 2 or 3 days duration - a trip to Gettysburg is an example.
Please watch for events to be posted in event-specific emails as well as the club's weekly email newsletters. Events are posted as they come up and sign up is sometimes limited in number.
The Trips and Events Committee is a spirited group of volunteers who enjoy preparing these outings. If you have any suggested ideas, or if you have contacts at venues of possible interest to us, please contact me, Bill Blaufuss, or Jeff Hare, vice chair of the committee.
Remember: Spouses and significant others are most welcome at all T&E events. Non-Y's Men friends are also welcome, space permitting.
Come out and enjoy an event with us!
Bill Blaufuss, Chairman
