3 MONTH NEWSLETTER NOW ONLY VIA EMAIL. PLEASE PRINT A COPY FOR YOUR HANDY REFERENCE
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Greetings fellow Adventurers!
It’s hard to
believe another year is upon us! You’ll note that this newsletter is for the
first THREE months of the year, instead
of four. Switching to a quarterly newsletter will give us much more
flexibility in securing program speakers (and make our Program Chair’s life a
bit easier!), as well as finding volunteer reservationists. So look for your
Adventurers’ Club newsletter every quarter!
Our first three
programs of 2019 are by our own Club members! Don’t miss them! Aloha,
Lowell Angell, President
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Exploring the
Pacific, Above and Below Water
by members Judy and Ted Simon
Judy and Ted Simon
have been traveling and snorkeling the Pacific for nearly 50 years, ever since
they moved to Hawaii. Their most recent trips took them to the islands of Palau
and Yap, Micronesia, where they explored the underwater world of fish and
coral, in addition to the above-water natural and cultural resources. In Yap, it was the 50th Anniversary of Yap Day, an annual festival that celebrates the various
island cultures of Micronesia. Their
photos and videos have captured Palau’s world famous Jellyfish Lake and Rock
Islands, the athletic Yap Bamboo Stick Dance and the magnificent manta rays. If
you have never snorkeled, come see what you have missed. If you do snorkel, but
don’t take photos, come see why you might want to start.
