NLMS 34th Annual Meeting, Lunch, & a Cruise!
--on a boat, with Steve Jones, & cake.
Sunday, November 5
Come for the meeting, then stay aboard for a memorable tour.
We meet on the Jessica W, Cross Sound Ferry, 2 Ferry Street, New London, CT.
Join us for brief 20-minute Annual Meeting aboard the ferry prior to the trip -- from 12:30 to 12:50 -- just 20 minutes! All NLMS members are welcome to attend the meeting without charge.
After the meeting sit back and relax on a high-speed ferry ride out to Block Island and back by 3:30 PM.
On our way out, Steve Jones will provide an eclectic narration encompassing Ellery Thompson, the Malloys, the
Larchmont, and Admiral Hardy - to name just a few. Why go to Block Island? Because that's where all the bodies are, Steve says.
$50 for NLMS members, $65 others, $20 children ages 7-16.
There'll be delicious box lunches, mojitos, & cake.

We thank the Cross Sound Ferry for generously providing the boat.
