| The Travel & Leisure Committee works with a
number of other senior groups in the north country to plan
outings, trips and events for its members. Because
of that, it is quite important that you make
arrangements/reservations as early as possible so that
you won't be closed out of the event. |
Plans
for 2026
|
|
5 days, 4 nights in Montreal & Quebec
City ... June 8 - 12, 2026 |
|
Gayla LaPage is the current RENY State
President, as well as president of the northern
zone. She has organized a travel group
through White Star Tours. We are in
discussion with her in regard to our members
"tagging along"! The only down side of
this particular tour is that our Spring
Scholarship Luncheon is during the time this
trip will be happening. The attached
graphic pretty much says it all. Please
contact Gayla by phone or e-mail if you are
interested.

printable .pdf format. The flyer indicates
that a passport is required. Please note
that an enhanced license will also be fine.
This just in ... There are a number of pick-up
points on the route in St. Lawrence County and
points north. For members of our zone,
arrangements can be made for pick-up points in
Jefferson County along I-81 and US Route 11. |

June 9 ... A show at the REV Theater in
Auburn |

In conjunction with other senior groups that we
work with, a trip is planned to see
the musical A Bronx Tale
at the REV Merry-Go-Round theater in Auburn.
As is typical with the trips to this theater, the price will include transportation to and
from the venue, the price of tickets to the show
and dinner at Lasca's Restaurant in Auburn.
The cost of this is $125 per person. If you are interested,
please contact Cheryl Matson at 315-778-6014 or
David Schryver at 315-486-1408 or
davidjschryver@gmail.com for more information or to
express your interest. |
June 17 ... Waterfall hiking excursion
... Rain date, June 24 |
Due to the success and reception of the past few
waterfall hikes, we are ready
for the 2026 edition. As always, these are "hikes for the
non-hiker"! The longest one will be less than
1/4 mile round-trip and most have roadside
views.
We will start with falls in the Lowville area
and proceed toward the southern end of Lewis
County before heading for a number of other
sites in Oneida County. Full details will
be provided at next spring's scholarship luncheon.
As usual, we
will be having lunch along the route.
At this time, the plan is to visit the Capri
Pizzeria in Boonville. The cost of this will be each participant's
responsibility. Of course, in what has become a
tradition, we will close out our trip with a
stop at a local ice cream stand. Our
assistant chairperson, Kathy Allan keeps that
detail under wraps until the day of the event. Contact David Schryver at
315-486-1408 or
davidjschryver@gmail.com for more information or to
sign up.
NOTE ... This event is a carpool type of thing.
It is somewhat weather dependent, so these trips
have been known to be postponed but will not be
cancelled. Reservations will be taken right up
to the day of the event.
ANOTHER NOTE ... For those not familiar with
these hikes, your guide needs you to understand
something. Our participants have been
saying for several years that they have a lot of
fun on these outings, they get to visits spots
in the north country that they are not usually
familiar with and they get some exercise.
In reality, I think that some people go on them
because we always have a nice lunch at a quaint
local diner and then stop at an ice cream shop
at the end of the day! |
July 15 ... A trip to
Frederic Remington Museum in Ogdensburg |
We are tentatively planning a trip to the Frederic Remington Museum in
Ogdensburg for July 15.
Details are being worked out. If there is
interest, it looks like we can do this for $25 a
person, $15 for each driver. This will
include the admission to the museum and cost of
transportation. Needless to say, we will
include a lunch/dinner, depending upon the time
of day we go. The cost of this will be the
responsibility of each participant.
Full details will be posted at a later date.
Contact David Schryver at 315-486-1408 or
davidjschryver@gmail.com for more information or to
express your interest.
