host and hostess Jack and Tina Nicholson
What a great Halloween Party at the residence of Tina and Jack Nicholson. Musical and operatic entertainment was provided by members of Opera Naples. Delicious appetizers, multi choice entrees, and wonderful desserts were offered; all prepared by our gracious hostess Tina. It was a balmy night in Naples, where 82 members and guests had a great time. Great thanks to our host and hostess Jack and Tina Nicholson.

Circumnavigators will join together for a holiday celebration and to honor illustrious member Charlie Blaisdell on his 100th Birthday. A past president and active in the Club for decades, Charlie hasn’t lost his sense of humor. At a recent gathering, he said he wanted to dispel the rumor that he was one of the Club founders! Charlie has lots of great stories and it will be a treat to join him for this big event.
The party will be held on December 10 at the Explorers Club, located at 46 E 70th Street in New York City. Contact Tracy Sancilio at headquarters to make a reservation for this event, or use the form here. It will be a lot of fun in beautiful NYC during the holidays.
