 "There are people who perhaps would call me a dilettante because it looks as though I were having too much fun, I have never been convinced there is anything inherently wrong with having fun.

For the past two years The New England Chapter has celebrated the time-honored tradition of coming together in a round table forum to share new perspectives on exploration, lessons learned, and tales from afield. Please join us for our Third Annual Explorers Round Table, to be held on Tuesday, November 4th. Whether you recount expeditions past, offer sage counsel, share artifact treasures, show your scars, or just come to listen, you will be most welcome at this popular seasonal gathering.

This Tuesday, November 4th evening event will be held at The Union Club, 8 Park Street, in downtown Boston. Park Street is the short street, at the upper, "Park Street Station" end of the Boston Common that runs between the gilded dome of the State House and Tremont Street. There is parking at street meters (free after 6PM), in the Boston Common Underground Garage (all night for $10), and in other local garages off upper Beacon Street (past the State House).

The Social Hour begins at 7 P.M., leading to the convening of the round table around 8 P.M. There is a $10 donation per person requested to help defray the costs of room rental, which is payable at the event. There will be a cash bar available. All guests, friends, family, and interested parties are welcome. If you let us know ahead of time that you intend to come, that would be helpful; but regardless, do come. Gentlemen must wear a jacket and tie (no jeans) for entry to the Union Club.

For any further information, or to let us know that you are coming, please contact me at 401-247-4944 or markallio@cox.net. Also, please check out our website at
