| 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.

that a passport is required. Please note
that an enhanced license will also be fine. |

Tentatively set for June 17 ... Waterfall hiking excursion |
Due to the success and reception of the past few
waterfall hikes, plans are already being made
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! |
Sometime between June 3 and July 20 ...
Exact date TBA ... A show at the REV Theater |
In conjunction with other senior groups that we
work with, a trip is tentatively planned to see
the musical A Bronx Tale
at the REV Merry-Go-Round theater in Auburn
somewhere within the dates indicated above.
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.
Typically, these trips run between $110 and $120
but this is still in the planning stages so it
has not been set. 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.
The exact date and details will be posted once
things are finalized.

July ... Exact date TBA ... A trip to
Frederic Remington Museum in Ogdensburg |
A member has suggested a day-trip, car-pool type
of trip to the Frederic Remington Museum in
Ogdensburg
Details are being worked out. If there is
interest, it looks like we can do this for $20 a
person, $10 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 provided at next spring's scholarship luncheon.
