2010 trips
With the start of a new year, your Senior Center of Morrow County would like to offer its seniors more variety. As you may have guessed from previous months' newsletters, the trips were scheduled to give you a choice of new and exciting places to visit with your friends and some new friends.
Because we are working with a travel agency and they have rules we must follow in order to offer you these great trips, there are a few things that we will have to do differently.
- When you read about a trip that you would like to go on, no matter how far away the date is, please call the center and let us know of your intentions. A down payment will be due at this time.
- The Center will accept payments monthly or weekly, so you do not have to come up with the entire amount at one time.
- A date will be announced in the newsletter when you may no longer cancel and get a refund.
We want to make this endeavor successful, but it will take the co-operation of all of us. These trips are two, three and four day trips, but we will also be planning day trips that will be fun and eventful.
