A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTORThe holidays are here! Between traveling, shopping, and spending time with loved ones, it’s a busy and exciting time of year. With all of that excitement comes another change in season. Temperatures are dropping, our evenings are beginning a little earlier, and soon the snow will greet us once again. It’s easy to stay inside and hibernate until spring, but I hope you bundle up and get out to enjoy the season with us!

Whether it’s a local Health Fair this winter, or a getaway to tropical Costa Rica this spring, I hope you have a chance to participate in the excellent adventures we have planned for 2016!

We will be starting our 2016 with a trip to the Fireside. The rest of the year is filled with Broadway Shows, Unique Tours, Seminars and Surprises. I’d like to encourage you to bring a friend and introduce them to our Club. If your guest opens an account with us, we will send you a travel certificate for your next adventure! Throughout the year there are last minute opportunities that we can’t always include in our newsletters, so please confirm that we have your current e-mail address, we wouldn’t want you to miss anything!
