Spring 2017
bos classic 50
MESSAGE FROM NIKKI
I hope everyone’s 2017 is off to a great start. As a kickoff to the new year, I, along with 18 Classic
50 members, cruised the West and East Caribbean on the beautiful Regal Princess out of the port of
Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Along the way we made seven island stops; the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Turks
& Caicos, Mexico, Dominican Republic, St. Thomas & St. Marteen. We enjoyed perfect weather and
a great time was definitely had by all.
As you will see below, we have many great educational meetings and day trips planned for 2017,
along with a major trip to the fabulous New England states to view the beautiful fall foliage. There is
an informational meeting planned for this trip on Wednesday, April 12th with all of the highlights of the trip being
covered. Please call me if you would like to attend this meeting.
