Travelites' Mardi Gras & Chinese NY report & upcoming

[Cheri]

Travelites members from around the Carolinas celebrated the Chinese
New Year, year of the Tiger, and Mardi Gras in style with a huge
variety of foods in the SC Upstate. Our host’s graciousness is very
much appreciated. The weather was superb. We had fun with the Wii
game console and relaxed in the hot tub; the pool table was
available. A photo is being submitted for April’s Bulletin of some of
those in attendance. Attendees received small plush Mardi Gras or
Chinese New Year Bears in full dress as souvenirs. A photo will be
uploaded to CherisTravelites on Yahoo shortly. That site is only
available to actual members.

The next event will be on February 27th in Ridgeway, the first
Oyster Roast of 2010. There will be pasta Alfredo for those who don't
want the Oysters. The cost will be $8/person. I really need to know
how many I need to buy oysters for no later than Feb. 24 (the Wed.
before the event) so that I can order the same sweet mollusks we have
gotten in the past. Your check will be your receipt. Please let me
know if you need directions.

The following event will be Travelites’ annual St. Patrick’s party at
in Leesville. We need to know at least a week in advance if you’re
joining us for our hosts' wonderful corned beef and cabbage.
