TRAVELOGUE

Almost 100 attendees braved the bad weather to travel to Cuba Thursday, Sept. 23 for the kickoff of the series! The presenter, Marlin Darrah just returned from Cuba back in June of this year. So his video and observations were very current. We had net ticket receipts of $655 including a few season ticket sales. Everyone really enjoyed the show.
