Preparations for October 20, 2018 Trip
to Antietam with Dennis Frye
If you recall, we surveyed you in the spring to see when and where we should have our field trips in 2018-2019 and mode of transportation.
In some instances, the results were a little inconclusive but overall Antietam, MD was overwhelmingly the first choice.
That date is set as Oct 20, 2018.
We wanted to let you know as soon as we made a decision that we will not be chartering a bus to Antietam. We just did not have enough folks to fill the bus and the cost became very high. Instead, we will go by car as we normally do.
Some people have already noted they will meet us at the Battlefield and others want to carpool. If you plan on carpooling, please let Barry know whether you will be driving or whether you need a ride. That way, we can make sure we have enough rides and riders.
Please note, we will be leaving on 10-20-2018 at 7:00 am from the Holiday Inn in Fogelsville. That is our normal meeting place for field trips. If we leave at 7:00 a.m. it should give us time to get there, use the restroom, and have a bite to eat before we start our tour which begins approximately noon.
If you have not signed up yet and are thinking about going, we would love to have you.
Currently, we project the cost of the speaker to be approximately $10.00 per attendee providing we have 25 people.
We will e mail you more details as the trip gets closer but did want you to know the bus is not an option for this trip.
We hope you are looking as forward to this trip as we are.
Barry's email is bjasparks@rcn.com.
Regards,
Barry Arnold and Claire Kukielka
