Thursday July 2nd, 2009
10:30 6:00PM Currently a field trip is being
planned that will involve visiting places in and around Ithaca including
Taughannock State Park and various Finger Lake wineries. There will
also be a stop for lunch along the way. This field trip will require
renting a bus or van depending on the number of people interested and is not
included in the registration fee. If there is enough interest the cost
will be divided amongst the participants. Please Contact Art Kasson if
interested.
9:00PM Ithaca celebrates United States
Independence Day with a display of fireworks
For those interested in additional activities in
the Ithaca area, please visit: www.visitithaca.com. Plenty of hiking
trails and water activities are available in addition to shopping along
Ithacas unique outdoor mall, The Commons. For people bringing family
we recommend visiting the Ithaca Science Center, Museum of the Earth or
taking a tour along the Ithaca Art Trail.
