The Men's Group Bus Trip ~ by Mary T. Walker

Since 1995, the Men's Group of St. E's have sponsored an annual trip to Philadelphia on the Labor Day weekend. The trip has a two-fold objective. One is to have FUN! The other is to raise funds for our church. The trip begins when you get on the bus on Saturday morning and ends when you get off the bus on Monday evening. Many dear friendships have developed over the years.

This year, 36 of us traveled to Philadelphia with the Men's Group. Eight of us were members of St. Elizabeth. Where were the rest of you? You missed such a treat!

The trip has many highlights: a trip to the "suburbs of Philadelphia"... dinner at a premier jazz club, shopping, sightseeing, fun, more fun... and did I say SHOPPING! I would encourage more of our parishioners to join in this fun experience. After all, the more people going, the more funds to come to the church.

Kudos to James Thompson and Clifton Wright for a job well done in the coordination and planning of this year's trip. This was Sam and my 13th trip on board and we look forward to another fun-filled time next year.
