Well it is official. With the group of ten cancelling, we only had 3 signup since. Therefore we will have to cancel the 4th of July trip to eliminate any further losses by our small business. Refunds will be going out via the avenue you paid. We are still planning on our December trip to NYC to see all its Christmas decorations. I will be gathering info for that trip in the next couple of days. Luckily, we have never had to cancel our December trip except for COVID in 2020. Stay tuned for details.

Happy Easter!

John 20:17

Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

As I am sending out the invoices for the 4th of July trip, a group of 10 that had registered decided not to go. We were already 6 short of the minimum, but I felt confident we would fill those seats in the next 2 month. With these 10 seats open, the trip is now in jeopardy of being cancelled. I already lose a portion of my deposit if we have to cancel and lose more if we cancel past the 25th of April. As a small business owner, I cannot afford any further loss, so if we cannot get the needed seats by then, we will have to cancel and all deposits/payments will be refunded. Please share the link and talk to your friends and let’s keep this bus going.
