Category: Activities (Page 5 of 50)
Activities are gatherings that occur on a regular schedule, usually weekly, to enjoy a specific pastime.
The Dinner and Hockey social event originally scheduled for February 7 was cancelled due to inclement weather.
It has now been rescheduled as Lunch and Hockey for Saturday, March 21. We will begin with a family-style lunch at 12:00 noon at the famous Ralph ‘n’ Rich’s (www.ralphnrichs.com). Lunch includes salad, two different entrees (chicken parm and salmon piccata), a pasta dish (meat sauce), coffee, tea or a soft drink and Italian cookies and pastries for dessert. Wine, beer and other drinks may be charged separately.
Following lunch we will proceed to Total Mortgage Arena, a short 4-minute walk from the restaurant, for the AHL hockey game between the Bridgeport Islanders and the Hershey Bears (top affiliate of the NHL Washington Capitals). The game starts at 3:00 p.m. and usually ends around 5:30 p.m.
We will carpool for those interested. Parking is free. The cost has been reduced to $67 per person. Checks should be made payable to “DMA”. You may sign up at the DMA meetings, or reserve by sending an email to: gehrwbrown@gmail.com. Any questions? Please email or call Gehr (203-655-3713).
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, January 14th at 2:00 pm and held in the Lilian Gade conference Room on the second floor of the Darien Community Center. We will be discussing Dirtbag Billionaire by David Gelles. If you would like to join remotely, the Zoom information is below:
We started the new year off with 11 bowlers and seven were at or above average. Pretty good!
We had three 500 series: Frank D had his 10th in a row at 523, highlighted by an opening game of 200. Tom had high series of 561, highlighted by a middle game of 205. And Mr. Music Man, Marty, had a 531, which was his third 500 series in a row (I suppose we’ll have to now take him a bit more seriously when he gives us bowling tips 
). At +63, it easily qualified Marty for BoD honors. Other plus series came from Bill at +12, Tom at +26, George G at +33, Ted at +37 and Ben at +43. Ed was just on his average. Spare of the day came from Bill, who converted a 5-7-9.

The hale and hardy will be setting out on January 8th for next month’s hike. Because of the weather patterns in January we’ve planned on an easy walk in close proximity to the DCA.
We’ll visit Greenwich Beach Park (known by locals as Tod’s Point). Depending on the prevailing winds that day we’ll do the North or South loop trail. Leashed dogs are permitted at this time of the year.
For those wishing to join for lunch after the walk, we’ll be going to Little Pub Greenwich at 531 E Putnam Ave., Cos Cob.
As usual we’ll meet at the DCA parking lot at 9:30am for those wishing to carpool.
Best,
Alec Wiggin
