55+ Trips

The 55+ Club sponsors a number of trips each year. These include day trips to local attractions as well as more ambitious overnight forays. In the past we have seen plays in Lowell, Boston, and Worcester, visited museums such as Peabody Essex and Harvard Semitic, gone to local concerts such as the Lexington Symphony, we've cruised Boston Harbor to see the Tall Ships, and we've taken a day trip to the Lower East Side of New York. Our most recent overnight trips have been to Tanglewood and the Berkshires, Lincoln, New Hampshire for some R&R, and Jewish Montreal. For all but our most local trips, we arrange transportation via bus for short trips or motor coach for the longer ones.

This past summer we made three local trips, a Bicentennial Band Concert and an Encore HD Performance of Tosca, both in July and saw a baseball game in September.

The very successful inter-generational trip to Lowell, to see the Spinners baseball game on September 1. was a sell-out; in fact, we were oversubscribed! It was especially fun to see the excitement on the faces of the kids: "We've never been this close to the field before!"

This year we are planning another encore Met HD performance, "La Traviata" on May 2nd, a Tall Ships cruise on July 1, a Lowell Spinners game in late July, a Tanglewood trip in mid-to-late August, and a tour of the Gropius House in Lincoln in early September.

A few photos taken on some earlier trips are shown below.
