Shipmates:
We have arranged for a tour and lunch at Burnt Church Distillery on Tuesday 11 Apr from Noon – 2:00PM. For those who have not been there before, the distillery is located at 120 Bluffton Road in Bluffton. You can check it out at BurntChurchDistillery.com
We will start with a tour of the distillery led by our own Clinton Hallman ’87 followed by a lunch consisting of caesar salad, a selection of pizzas, iced tea, and lemonade. Adult beverages are available on a cash bar basis. The cost will be $40 per person and guests are welcome.
Please let Tom Cavanaugh (tomcusna69@gmail.com) know if you would like to attend and how many will be in your party so that we can get a fairly accurate headcount.
We hope to see you there as well as at our next Frankie Bones lunch on 7Feb.
Lowcountry Alumni –
Happy New Year! We trust that you and your family had a great holiday season and are ready to start the new year with us. We have several events planned for 2023.
First, we will continue our quarterly luncheons. The next one is scheduled for 7 Feb at Frankie Bones in Bluffton. The start time is 1130, and we will be ordering from a limited menu. The luncheons are a great way to meet other alumni in a relaxed informal setting.
Our annual luncheon will be on 13 May at the Callawassie Club on Callawassie Island. This lunch will feature a guest speaker, retired Admiral Bob Willard. It promises to be an enjoyable day.
April will include a lunch and tour of the Burnt Church Distillery in Bluffton. In June or July, we’re hoping to arrange a tour and buffet lunch at the Mighty 8th Air Force Museum. More on all this later.
We’re also planning viewing parties for the Air Force and Army games, as well as flag placements at the graves of Academy graduates in Beaufort National Cemetery on Veteran’s Day.
We encourage all members to stay up to date on our events by checking myUSNA.com regularly. We also welcome suggestions for future events and activities, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us with your ideas (contact your current President Tom Cavanaugh: tomcusna69@gmail.com .
More detailed information will be provided as we get closer to each event. We’re looking forward to a great year with the Lowcountry Chapter and we hope to see you at our upcoming get-togethers.
