The photos tell it all. Lots of smiles and laughter with new Applicants, brand-new Members, Guests from the Ramblers and reuniting Members.

January 22, 2023
After a three-year interruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, our club’s annual Winter Social has returned! Thirty-eight members took part enthusiastically in the luncheon which, for the first time, was held at Characters Restaurant in Sloatsburg. There was a lot of catching up to do, including a remembrance of eleven members deceased since the last Winter Social, acknowledgement of twelve fifty-year members, and presentation of awards to past Board members and past Committee Chairs (a full listing of the awards will be in the next Trail Marker).
Here are some photos from the event
