Off The Slopes

Your participation is what makes all the time and effort worth doing, and adds fun for all that attend. Your not being there means we don't have as much fun. There will be sign up sheets for each activity at the monthly meeting. This will both commit you to join and give the coordinator an idea who and how many will attend.

If you haven't joined the FSC Email Group, please go to the 'Yahoo! Group' page for instructions on joining, so that you can receive announcements of events/activities.

This is the same weekend as SunFest, Ocean City’s largest festival. Our club's annual trip to Ocean City is sure to once again be a great time for all. Swimming, sun bathing, perusing the many craft displays on the boardwalk, dining, dancing, and enjoying the nightlife are a few of the many attractions.
Lodging is again the Princess Royale, on the ocean at 91st Street. Since it was such a hit last year, we will again enjoy the sunset over dinner Friday night at Fager's Island. On Saturday we'll hold a wine and cheese get together in one of our rooms early in the evening, before folks head off for dinner and nightlife.

There's a two night minimum stay and each additional person in the room is $15.00. Children under 12 stay free in their parent's room. All the rooms have 2 queens, 2 double, or one king-size bed as well as a queen sleeper sofa in the living room and an ocean view or ocean front balcony.
Deposits ($100 pp.) required by Aug 7 for this fun-filled weekend trip to OC, because space & room types ARE limited.
