Child Life Rocks Romania- Fundraiser

It was another successful event last night as we had about 40 people show up to support the cause.  We were able to raise $540.00 to help fund fellow NTA'er Kathryn Davitt's mercy trip to Romania, with some of her co-workers from the Cook Childrens Hospital in Ft Worth. 
There were several generous door prizes given away, drink specials and great free food provided by our friends at Black Finn in Arlington. 
And a good time was had by all....for a great cause !

Texas Hold 'Em

I wasn't present this past Saturday evening for the Texas Hold 'Em game held at a member's house, but I heard that there was a good turnout. 
About 8 members showed up at Shawn's house and proceeded to ante up.  I don't know who walked away Big Winner, but I am sure it was a lively time!

Other big events coming up:  Gotta reserve NOW for the Guadalupe River Trip - June 18 - 20
Sign up by March 6 to reserve your spot!!
That's a real fun time and lots of people to make your new best friends!

Lots of Events on the Calendar!

Gosh!  So many things are going on and I don't think I have time to even THINK about posting HALF the events on the Februaury calendar...even though we are almost into March!

For all those people that sit home and whine about nothing to do....that's just pitiful, IMHO.
Look what's coming up:
  •  Painting with a Twist
  • Scottish Country Dancing
  • Texas Hold 'Em Poker
  • "Bodies" exhibit
  • Trinity Trails Bike Ride
  • Coffee and Breakfast with friends
And those events are just for the next week of February!

You better get involved before summer comes on and you haven't gotten out to enjoy life!

Exploring Trinity Trails in Fort Worth

The event for the evening - biking along the Trinity in Fort Worth.

This is a really great bike ride - Lots to see along the route and you can even yell at people who do not understand the concept of walking on the trails as they let their pets/kids wander into on-coming bike traffic. Fun, fun, fun!

The bike ride will be about 10 to 15 miles. Not that much, even if you are a beginner. You can ride at your own pace and meet other bike riders in the group.

Don will be leading the event. Look for him and his white truck. He will be there a little before 6:30 pm and you can also identify him as the one scanning the parking lot for you late-comers.

The meet-up designation is: University Dr. and I - 30, Fort Worth, TX 76102
Directions:
Take the University Dr. exit off of the I-30, and then head North on University. Turn at the first right - there will be a sign for Trinity Trails, by the rail road tracks.

Hope you have fun - let me know the score of how many people you hit. ;-)

What do you do for fun?

Welcome to the big city of Dallas (or Fort Worth, if you want to get particular)!
Now what do you do?

Granted, Dallas isn't known for its funky architecture, hip (hippee-vibe) art scene, or any other notable influence that would attract people by the droves.
Sure - we've got big hair, we've got Dealy Plaza, we've got a costly new stadium for the Cowboys which not many of us can ever afford to go to...or can we???

Welcome to North Texas Adventures!

This is a relatively new site where strangers in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex come together to try new sporting activities, sit and sup, ride bikes together- heck, we even begin to like each other after awhile!

Current activities can be found on the Calendar of Events by clicking www.northtexasadventures.net .

Go.
Take a look.
And check back here to see what kind of mischief we can get into.
