Jan. 26, Feb 9 & 16th 2013 gatherings
With temperatures not being chilly, we are looking forward to the first Oyster Roast of 2013.Join friends from GA and both Carolinas on Jan. 26 in Ridgeway, SC for succulent oysters plus Pasta Alfredo for those who prefer to not eat seafood as well as dishes and desserts attendees will be bringing.
So far I've received $9 from one person who will be enjoying oysters along with the other foods. If you can, please payPal me the $ but please do not use a credit or debit card as they charge us 3%. If you'd prefer to mail a check, please make it out to Travelites and mail to PO Box 91048, Columbia, SC 29290 (note new POB).
The Oyster Roast was a lot of fun. Folk from the SC Midlands as well as the upstate, NC & GA gathered to devour a bushel of oysters as well as spaghetti (whole wheat) and Alfredo sauce, steamed broccoli and asparagus, salad, brownies, pound cake, turtle tracks ice cream and a cadre of snacks. The hot tub alas, did not melt away the calories.
Several members received Recognition in Appreciation Travelites certificates for going Above and Beyond: Albert (Winnsboro), Mike C (Augusta), Bruce (Sumter), Larry (Ridgeway), and Cyndy (Ridgeway).
