Mar232020
The Circumnavigators Club has decided to postpone its Annual Meeting, scheduled in New York City on May 15. We are disappointed to make this decision resulting from the uncertainties of the current coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions in New York. The meeting will be rescheduled in 2020 when the situation is clear. We thank our guest speaker, author Patricia Schultz, and all the members who planned to attend from around the country for their understanding.
Dr. Daniel Immerwahr, historian and professor at Northwestern University gave an illuminating presentation on “How to Hide an Empire”, which is the title of his book.Members and guests found it fascinating to look at the past and present territories of the U.S.

Circumnavigators and guests gathered for dinner and a presentation with guest speaker and member Edwin Galkin. Also in attendance were his co-captain Mark Seeman and his wife Mary Jane. Edwin and Mark were planning their fourth circumnavigation this month but had to cancel their trip due to flight restrictions with the latest Coronavirus outbreak. They are planning on moving their trip to July. Follow them on www.flyforthecure.org.
Welcome to March with spring flowers and warm temperatures coming soon. Circumnavigators aren’t seasonal travelers; they travel year round. But spring does offer some new travel opportunities. We would like to remind members to send us a photo or two and a couple of lines about their trips to be used in The LOG feature All Over the Map. It is a great way to share travel experiences.
Singapore Tradition
The Singapore Chapter started 2020 in its traditional fashion by holding its Annual General Meeting followed by cocktails and dinner in January. A wonderful evening of great food and wine and many a song was sung supported by its usual band.
President Michael Palmer’s review revealed a full membership with a waiting list, finances in very good health and a calendar full of excellent monthly events. The President gave special mention to the Singapore Chapter being invited to open the Singapore Stock Exchange market trading by sounding the gong.
Save the dates
Members are invited to attend upcoming events in New York. On March 12, the Club will receive a presentation from Circumnavigator Edwin Galkin who has done three circumnavigations in his single-engine plane and is planning to head off for his fourth Round-the-World trip.
