Carpool Road Trip
Palo Alto Club
Palo Alto Club
|
Palo Alto Club's Carpool Road Trip was a new offering as of January 2018. We see something that sounds fun and go for it, including some events offered on a very short notice. There's usually a meal involved (if so, $5 deposit to reserve your spot may be required, like our Dining Out events).
We love suggestions! Let us know at paloaltoclub@gmail.com. NOTE: Temporarily suspended during the hot summer when so many travel. There will be no Carpool Road Trips through this Summer of 2022.
JOIN THE COMMITTEE - We need one or two additional committee members. Call Susan Riding at 973 723-2619 or Marnie Wright at 352 408-9633 to volunteer to do that. We meet once a month to plan the future and sometimes do some reserving right there at the meeting. OR LEAD A TRIP - We welcome residents to lead a group for a day or an overnight event, We have a huge list of destinations to choose from that you can peruse for ideas. We can encourage each other to do new and fun things together via our Carpool Road Trips.
More Upcoming Events
Stay Tuned... Join the adventure with Palo Alto neighbors!
Offer a carpool ride to a neighbor - get to know each other better & have a great day together doing something new (or something you've been wanting to do again)! |
