Travel Talks

Travel Talks sponsors a monthly series of travelogues presented by Riderwood residents who have traveled extensively and taken high-quality photographs during their travels.  Our presenters look forward to sharing their experiences with the audience, and are available for comments or questions following the presentation.  Travel Talks are ordinarily held in the MST Chesapeake Room at 7:30PM on the first Wednesday of the month, September through June.  Additional resident presenters are welcome, and if you would like to share a travel experience or obtain additional information about our group, contact Allen Minton at traveltalks@riderwoodlife.com.
