……. we were a little low on numbers, but high in appreciation for our three Presenters who filled our heads with dreams of vacations, both near and far. The members welcomed representatives of Expedia Cruise Ship Centers, Cherry Bus Lines and Cambridge Travel, who entertained us with travel ideas to give us food for thought.
Our MC, Allan Ramsay, thanked the guests and he, and our Events Chair Susan Bridges, drew for the lovely door prizes provided by them and also by our generous Sponsor, Susan Kemp of 4Life’s Transitions Inc. Susan is a Certified Relocation and Transition Specialist, and sponsored this event at the great location in the new Cambridge Administration Building, downtown Cambridge (Galt). We are grateful to her, and to our guests, for their participation.
