FMCA Kids Have A Blast In Buffalo

October 1, 2003

By Deric Bloomingdale, F188602
President, FMCA Teen-Age Travelers (TATS)
September 2003

Hello. First of all I would like to thank all of the youth for allowing me to serve a third year as president of the TATS. Second, I would like to introduce our other three officers: Melissa Carlson, F301017, 1st vice president; Adam McGrath, F87335, 2nd vice president; and Erica Espinosa, F254925, 3rd vice president.

I have to tell you that it was a blast in Buffalo with all the children who showed up. There were 136 TATS, 89 PRE-TEENS, 46 TWEENS, and 15 TOTS for a total of 286 youth who signed up to participate.

In Buffalo the youth enjoyed a full plate of activities. These included bowling, a pizza party (where I think I ate too much); a naval museum visit; and T-shirt painting, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed, or that is at least what I noticed from all the…well…”interesting” designs. We also had an ice cream social, and completely enjoyed the trip to Six Flags Darien Lake. A number of us even waited in line for well over an hour in order to go on the “Superman Ride of Steel,” one of the tallest roller coasters in the Northeast. At Darien Lake there was a water park also, so some of us decided to get a little wet. On Saturday night we had a DJ/karaoke that we loved, although some of us were too stubborn to dance.

Anyway, I would like to thank all the youth who came, and the parents or others who brought them, to Buffalo, New York, in July. I hope to see all of you again soon.
