This Weekend With Mosaic!!
Loxahatchee River Down & Back Canoe Trip
When: Sunday, November 14, 9:00 am at the carpool site or 10:00 am at the put-in site. Please use the restroom before parking at the put-in site (see "Directions" below). We should be back at the outfitter by about 4:00 pm
What: This is Mosaic's favorite canoe trip, only with a slightly different twist this year. For the first time ever, we will be paddling for three hours downstream, then stopping for lunch along the river bank, and then paddling back up to the outfitter. The Loxahatchee River is the only river in Florida designated as "wild and scenic" by the U.S. Government. This trip will focus on the narrow section of the river, bounded by oak trees and sable palms. The wildlife abounds, and the canoeing is fairly technical, but doesn't require much exertion. We'll start out with a brief canoe lesson, and then hit the river. After canoeing for about two hours, we'll stop for a picnic lunch on the riverbank near Governor's Dock, before turning upstream for the three-hour paddle back to the outfitter. Doing the trip this way means that we don't need to wait for the shuttle bus at the end, nor spend another half hour on the bus. In addition, the canoes are half the cost of going to Jonathan Dickenson and getting shuttled back, and we get to experience the nicest part of the river twice! This is the way most people do this trip, and there are good places for lunch and porta-potties along the river. Join us afterward for a well-deserved dinner at a nearby restaurant.
Where: Canoe Outfitters at Riverbend Park, 561-746-7053
Directions: Take the Turnpike north to exit 116 west, or I-95 north to exit 87 B. Go west on Route 706 for approximately 1-1/4 miles. You will see a small brown sign in the median strip, and Canoe Outfitters will be on the left. That is where the canoe office, port-o-lets, and put-in site are now. Please use the bathroom before you park at the put-in site if possible, since there will be no other good opportunity till lunch. There is a bathroom at the McDonald's on Route 706 east of the Turnpike or at the Starvin' Marvin's convenience store a few blocks west of the put-in site
Carpool Site: Meet at the Wyndham Garden Hotel just west of I-95 on Glades Road (not the one on Sheridan!). Take I-95 to Glades Road (Exit #45) in Boca Raton, and go west. Go under I-95, and make the first U-turn, to come back east on Glades. The Holiday Inn will be on the right, just before you get to I-95. Meet in the parking lot at 9:00 am. We will leave at 9:15 am sharp!
Bring: Sunscreen, hat, picnic lunch, snacks, lots of water, insect repellent, dry bag if you have one, and change of clothes for dinner.
Cost: $16 for Mosaic Members and $21 for non-members. Cost includes canoe rental, park fees, and taxes.
Contact & RSVP: Limit 50. RSVP required and payment required by Saturday, November 13. Please note deadline date!!!

Coming Up With Mosaic!!
High/Low Ropes Course & Team Building Adventure at FAU in Boca Raton
When: Sunday, November 21, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
What: You've heard the buzz about team building ropes courses. Mosaic is sponsoring a day in the outdoors on platforms, planks, rock walls, rope ladders, playing games, brain teasers, and problem solving in the spirit of team building. Enjoy a mix of low and high ropes elements. Challenge your fears, improve your leadership skills, and have fun solving problems. Not only is this program fun and exciting, but it will build skills which prove valuable both at work and at play. I've done this course a few times and it always leaves me with a new, positive perspective and thoughts to ponder. Anyone 8-65 years old can participate. High elements will make up 1/3 of the events.
Where: The FAU Boca Raton Campus, three blocks north of the University Center on the west end of campus.
Directions: Take I-95 to Glades Road in Boca Raton. Go east several blocks and make a left at the Fresh Market, into the FAU campus. Follow the signs to the University Center, then continue three more blocks to the climbing wall.
RSVP: Registration deadline is November 10. After November 10, add $5.
Bring: Hat, sunscreen, sneakers, water bottle, a sense of adventure, and $6.50 for lunch.
Cost: $40 for Mosaic members, $45 for non-members. Cost includes four hours on the ropes course, with an hour break for lunch. Add $5 if reserving after November 10. Cost does not include lunch, which is $8.00 for an extensive all-you-can-eat buffet brunch in the student cafeteria.
Contact: RSVP and advance payment is required. To RSVP, call Abbe Gleicher at 954-663-6682 or email gleichera@bellsouth.net. Send a check in the proper amount, payable to Mosaic, to Abbe Gleicher 1405 Belmont Place, Boynton Beach, FL 33436.
