Upcoming Special Events
Each year, the Fun, Fit & Over Fifty Club sponsors many special events that take place locally, in the Northwest, and around the world. We place newly-identified trips on the Weekly Update a couple of times and then transfer the information here. We keep that information posted here until the event happens.
