OA SERVICE NEEDED

 
On Sunday, September 19, 2010, Greater NY Metro Intergroup is sponsoring an event celebrating the 5 Decades of OA. We are looking for individuals, especially long timers and anyone with a knowledge of the history of OA in the area. This will be an area event, including the all 5 boroughs of New York, Long Island, Westchester and Rockland counties, Southwestern Connecticut, and Northern and Central New Jersey. The Special Events Committee of the Greater NY Metro Intergroup has already booked the venue and started making initial plans.
 
There will be a planning meeting on Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 6:30 pm at TRS at which is located at 44 E. 32nd St. 11th floor (between Park and Madison Ave). We welcome all those who are willing and able to help with this event.  This is an opportunity to celebrate 5 decades of OA, honor those who have helped pave the Road of Happy Destiny, share the rich heritage of OA in the area and continue the pay-it-forward tradition of carrying the message to those who still suffer.  For more information, please contact specialevents@oanyc.org.

If you are unable to attend the meeting on May 20th but have information regarding the history of your local OA intergroup or would like to attend future meetings, please contact specialevents@oanyc.org

OFF SHORE EXCURSIONS
 

 FIRST STOP - MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA

  

 

Montego Bay, known as "Mo' Bay" to the locals, is Jamaica's second largest community. Gorgeous white-sand beaches and mangrove wetlands surround the old town, which rests at the bottom of lush green mountains. Montego Bay offers the best of the Caribbean, including beautiful Georgian architecture in the historic town of Falmouth. Surround yourself with the essence of Jamaica in the island's friendliest city.

  ON TO THE GRAND CAYMANS

Grand Cayman

 

Grand Cayman, kissed by sparkling, turquoise waters, is a dream come true for water sports enthusiasts. You can snorkel with stingrays, go scuba diving, sail a catamaran, take in some sport fishing, or just mellow out along the powder-soft sand of the magnificent Seven Mile Beach. While you're there, don't forget to visit Hell, which is devilishly popular with senders of postcards.

AND THEN COZUMEL, MEXICO

 

 

Long before Cancun became a popular destination, Cozumel was well-known as a diving spot and home to the world famous Palancar Reef, which gives divers the opportunity to view thousands of brilliantly colored fish. Non-divers can kick back on a sun-drenched beach, or enjoy any number of seaside activities, such as shopping in colorful marketplaces or dining in an open-air café.

AND FINALLY BACK TO GALVESTON, TEXAS
 
 
 
 Back to where we started -- Galveston.  Chartered in 1839, Galveston Island, located on the upper Texas coast of the Gulf of Mexico, was the principal port into the southwest during the 19th century. This coastal town has experienced  a recent revitalization, making it one of America's newest beach resorts. Better than the beautifully restored Victorian architecture of its historic downtown district, is the southern hospitality of Galveston's residents.
