FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | OCTOBER 2020 37 Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time. A Community Garden Club has now formed and has been evaluating the open spaces around our community that might be suited to this activity. Although still in progress, a steering committee is now meeting regularly and we welcome Martha Tureen as the President. Martha is a master gardener for Riverside County and we have several other master gardeners who have joined the group. We hope to have a location approved by November and are working on our budget to make it a great addition to our community this spring… just in time for planting season! If you are interested and have not yet signed up, please email Pat Wayne at pwayne1@outlook.com. ~ Pat Wayne Community Garden Club Travel Group Hello fellow travelers. Here's hoping everyone is still safe and sane after months of confinement. As of this writing, some theme parks are beginning to open, as are state and national parks. If you decide to plan a visit, please check days and hours of operation. Plan ahead as there will be limited access and reservations are often required. Airline news: United, American, Delta, and Alaska airlines have all announced that they are eliminating change fees on domestic and short-haul international flights. However, basic economy fares are not included. Customers who do change flights will have to pay the fare difference for the new flight or will be issued a voucher if the new flight is cheaper. U.S. airlines have banned over 700 passengers for not wearing masks. How long a passenger remains banned by an airline depends on the airline and the behavior of the passenger during the flight when the violation took place, according to airline representatives. Cruises: The cruise industry is instituting a much more rigorous cleaning/sanitizing protocol to entice travelers. Most lines have set sail dates for June and July 2021. Some cruise lines are offering free cancellations. But be sure to check if you will be offered a refund or credit on a future cruise. Expect to see great deals on cruises. Tours: Group trips may take longer to rebound because of the difficulties of social distancing. There will be bargains galore, but carefully read the terms and conditions as they will vary widely depending on when and where you travel. ~ Irene Welker, irenewelker55@gmail.com
