Director’s Column
Dues Are Due
Another year has come and gone, and dues are due.
For those who forget, our fiscal year is September 1st
to August 31st. Once again, the dues are
ONLY $45 for a year of fun.
We enjoyed many activities this past year, both on
and off the slopes like golf, camping, hiking, TGIFs,
to name a few. It takes a lot of dedication and hard
work by trip leaders, board members, and volunteers
to continue to keep our members happy, healthy,
and active. Personally, I plan to enter old age,
90+, kicking and screaming.
We hope you will renew your membership and continue
to make this a truly great club. The club provides many
different opportunities: meeting other adults from
many walks of life, forming new and lasting friendships,
spending time enjoying the great outdoors, terrific
prices on trips, unique establishments for our TGIFs,
and having fun in the process.

This is the last production of the summer, so come join us, under the stars for
“Leader of the Pack” The Ellie Greenwich Musical.” This is described as
America’s original jukebox musical that celebrates the life and times of Brooklynborn
Ellie Greenwich, whose doowop sounds skyrocketed to the top of the pop
charts in the early to mid-1960’s. Anne Beatts’ “liner notes” serve as the book
that link the songs and provide a look into the songwriter’s professional
triumphs and personal misfortunes. Ellie Greenwich co-wrote many of the songs
made famous by other performers of this period including, The Crystals, The
Shangri-Las, Connie Francis, Tina Turner, and The Ronettes.
Mal Singer will be our host and will reserve our own section, center stage, with
chairs. You may bring your own coolers with food and beverages or you can
purchase snacks and beverages at the snack bar.
More information is available at the web site, supersummertheatre.org or you
may call 702-594-7529.

Camping
Trip to
Zion
Spend 2 beautiful nights under the stars in
the splendor of Zion National Park.
Hiking trails abound throughout this
wonderland of peaks and greenery for all
levels of ability. If we are lucky, the leaves
will be turning, an explosion of color.
The cost is only $5 per person per night.
$5 per person will hold your reservation.
If you don’t have all the equipment
necessary for “tent” camping, we may be
able to provide you with some of the
essentials. Everyone brings their favorite
foods, but then we share with the group.
A camp fire is always an essential part of
the evening as we swap stories and share
adventures.
Zion is only 2.5 hours from Las Vegas. We
usually carpool to help with expenses and
for those who don’t want to drive.
Call Mark at 461-5762 or email
mark42750@cox.net for more information
or to sign up.
