Roll and Stroll  FEBRUARY AND MARCH ACTIVITIES

 

The previous plans to visit Chinatown have been changed.  Additional information will be announced at our February meeting.  I am awaiting schedule information from Chinatown Center which announced that the celebration will occur on Sunday Feb. 25th.

 

FEBRUARY 23RD FRIDAY – Peoples Art Gallery at Austin City Hall

We will depart from Wheatsville at 5:15 p.m. to arrive at City Hall prior to the opening at 6:00 p.m.  Be prepared to stand in a short line to go thru security.  Carry a small purse.  We went last year and had a good time.  We will not stop for dinner as heavy snack food is provided at the event.  If we are still hungry we may stop after the event for dessert.

 

MARCH 3RD – SATURDAY – Explore the University of Texas – An open house event with a visit to many campus buildings.  This annual event always attracts a large crowd. 

 

MARCH 16TH – A trip to Mueller to visit an Irish pub prior to St. Patrick’s Day.  More information at our February meeting.

Chapter 2426 members traveled on 338 to Hancock Center.  They did some shopping and ate lunch at Jason’s Deli.  On the way back South we stopped at 9th & Lamar to visit Book People.  Reboarded the bus and went back to our starting point of Wheatsville.  All buses were on time with courteous drivers.  A great bargain for $1.25 roundtrip!
