Celebrating our 45th Anniversary
2025 will mark 45 years since we first gathered in Tucson, Arizona to become Cast B and because so much of our year together was defined by an extensive tour of BELGIUM, what better place to mark our 45th Anniversary than in this Pays de coeur | Hartelijik Land ?

Our Hosts
"Hosts" may not be the best way to introduce our Belgian castmates since there were basically volun-TOLD they should "host" a Cast B Palooza. But Dirk, Nicole, Ria and Brigitte were enthusiastically supportive of the idea for our 45th Anniversary, so we will call them our hosts for Belga-Palooza! Hartelijk bedankt and Merci!
Tentative Schedule of Activities
Since getting to Belgium is a large undertaking for most non-Europeans, the proposed schedule is based on two major travel days getting in and out of Brussels, plus a four-day excursion including a FREE DAY in Brugge and a FREE DAY in Brussels before the Cast Banquet on the final day.
