OCTOBER ROAD TRIP
Carousel Caper
October 16, 2025, 10:30 a.m.
Burlington, NC City Park Carousel
Please join us for a tour of (and rides on!) the historic Dentzel Carousel in Burlington City Park. The presentation and rides will last not more than 1.5 hours, rain or shine (it’s under cover). Presentation focuses on the Carousel itself, its history and loving restoration. (Fun tidbit: not many original carousels had animals other than horses; this one is a treasure because it features eight other animals, too!) Then we will ride around and around. There are seats in two chariots for those who don’t want to clamber onto an animal.
Afterwards, we go to a private dining room at Prego’s Trattoria in Burlington. Plenty of parking. They allow separate checks and prices run $10.95 - $18.95, including soup and salad. There is no cost for the tour but lunch is on your own.
Limited to 18 WoF members. Registration is required.
Deadline for registration is October 7, 2025. To register, click HERE.

OCTOBER MEETING
Clara Barton: A Woman of Her Time & Before Her Time
"The American Red Cross Story"
October 15, 2025, 1:30 p.m.
The Gathering Place
Guest speaker Jacki Walters
50+ years with the American Red Cross; FV Neighbor
Please join us to hear Jackie Walters, who has an extensive and long-standing association with the American Red Cross, talk about the determination it took for Clara Barton to start the American Red Cross in 1881. One can only imagine the personal challenges, the workplace prejudices, and the limiting social stereotypes she faced as a strong woman in that historical era. Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about a woman BEFORE her time who continues to inspire life-saving efforts today on local, national, and international levels in a world that clearly needs them.
