Carolyn and Dominick Darkangelo visited the Canary Island last March. They toured the rebuilt Garachico Harbor which was buried by a volcano in 1706. You can see the Fort that was partially buried by the lava and the paths built over the lava rock. In the online version of the RC 12 Outlook, you can read Carolyn's article.

Read the February RC 12 Outlook to learn about a trip to the Canary Islands.

"On the island of La Palma, we hiked for three hours on the ash which was spread by the Tajogaite volcano. We saw the steaming volcano which erupted in 2021. It was overwhelming to see the destruction firsthand. " , Carolyn Darkangelo

NYC Trip April 7

We would like to take a NYC trip to the Anne Frank Museum that is only open until the end of April. We were originally looking at March 24, but Linda went back online tonight to find that the February and March ticket slots are no longer available. Therefore, we are shooting for Monday, April 7.

The Anne Frank Museum is a full-scale replica of her Amsterdam house. We are also planning to go to the RiseNY before the Anne Frank Museum. Please go online to explore these two attractions. If interested, please send asap a $100 per person deposit to Linda Zilka (check payable NYSUT RC12). This deposit includes entrance fees to both attractions as well as a portion of the bus expense. The next batch of tickets open up on Monday, February 10, and will most likely fill up quickly, so please respond NOW:
