8 lovely SITD ladies were lucky to be able to attend the annual Bucks Lake trip on September 5 – 8, where we rented 3 rustic cabins, each with a lake view.  Lauren, Kathy, Nancy, Tanya B., Shirley, Lil, Laura and Lisa S. all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The weather was spectacular – a mix of very warm and also some cool.  Here are some fond memories and impressions from the trip:
 
●                   No matter our ages, politics, or athletic ability we have a bond through Soroptimist that allows us to all get along. We laugh, cry, play games, eat and drink and have a fabulous time together. We are able to meet each other where we are. Some of us paddle kayaks or paddle 
boards. Some of us hang at the beach, some nap, some read. No judgment.  But we ALL have FUN and get to RELAX.
●       Sooo much good food – appetizers, snacks and desserts galore!!
●                   Lots of crazy games of "UNO!!"  and remembrances of those who had a slightly longer learning curve of knowing when to say, "UNO"!! (not just Lil...)
●                   If you unlock your cabin door, go in, lock the door from the inside for the night, and leave the keys hanging on the outside, is it still safe?
●                   Tanya looking to get her flirt on and also in search of some salami for her charcuterie plate – related??
●       3 otters swimming in the lake
●       If you get dressed in the dark, you might just wear your bathing suit inside out to the beach…but who cares??
●                   Perfect weather, glassy water, fun on the beach and lake! Never ready to go home!  How nice to be out of cell range for a few days and just enjoy nature and each other.
●       2025 dates are Sept 4-7 (Thurs – Sun.)  Everyone is invited to join in 2025 and come enjoy the fun and comradery!!
