Sun Lakers traveling in Moscow on a home visit

Join us Thursday, October 8 at 6:30 p.m. in the Saguaro Room at Cottonwood Country Club for a fun evening with AMA Waterways, a boutique River Cruise Company. AMA will be hosting a River Cruise Night for folks in Sun Lakes. District Sales Manager Denise Kelly will provide information on their boutique ships that travel the European waters. Lots of food and refreshments—new brochures for 2016.

The club is supporting Free Spirit Vacations by promoting their wonderful fall and winter getaways. These little two, three and four day getaways (mostly from Sun Lakes) offer you singles the opportunity to travel with your locals and be part of a group. If you need a copy of the complete list of the local trips, call Donna at 480-861-3652 or Jeanette at 602-909-2000 and request a copy and we will mail it to you; copies are also at the meeting. When you book with the club, Free Spirit will pay the club a few dollars which helps support the club refreshments and other miscellaneous expenses. Thus no meeting dues and everyone is welcome to stop by. Think about the Balloon Festival in October – Rose Bowl in December and much more.

Come say hello and let us know what you have been up to this summer.
