Broad Horizons Summer Reunion - Sarnia Lambton Riverside Retreat! (Part 2)

As part of our ongoing efforts to find out what's of interest to our members RIGHT NOW, we try to gather as much information as possible in a fun and casual way. This time, we held a raffle for some fantastic prizes including a Liz Claiborne travel jewellery box, two travel toiletry cases, courtesy of one of our preferred suppliers, Collette Vacations, and 2 beautiful, hardcover cookbooks: Both in line with our upcoming trips to Greece and Italy! All the gals had to do was fill out a little ballot listing their favourite travel destination, as well as their ultimate future destination - That's it!

For those of you who live out of town, we also try to offer opportunities for you to win some great little perks: On every trip we offer a prize draw for those of you who take the time to write a testimonial for our website. And for those who have travelled with us in the past, you know about all our other little surprises!

The picture above shows some of the gifts from our recent riverside reunion. You'll also see a beautiful watercolour, painted by Elaine Bisson from Ottawa, who travelled with us to Ireland in May and found inspiration in Helen Dillon's Garden. Elaine also won a set of Waterford crystal candle sticks in Ireland for writing a beautiful poem, which you can see on our main website in the 'Travel Diaries' section: http://www.broadhorizonsnetwork.com/diaries.html

Thanks Elaine! You're such a talent.

Broad Horizons Summer Reunion - Sarnia Lambton Chapter

On a sunny summer day (Wednesday July 24th - to be exact!) the ladies of Broad Horizons got together along the beautiful shores of the St Clair River to catch up with past travel pals and enjoy the sunshine! About 30 of us made it to the riverside retreat and enjoyed an afternoon of great food, white wine spritzers and a few exciting announcements! For those of you who couldn't make it to this event, you'll be finding out some exciting news very soon! Stay tuned!

Since we have members all over the world, it's pretty much impossible to get us all together in one spot...but moving forward, we're really hoping to offer more opportunities for past travellers to get together. If you're interested in hosting a local BH reunion, just let us know and we'll help you organize everything! In the meantime, we hope you enjoy these pictures - Look closely, you just may recognize some of your past travel companions!

Have a great weekend - Enjoy the sunshine!

Make it a Girl's Night Out! Be a Pied Piper & Movie Night's On Us!

On July 18, Mamma Mia - The Movie opens in theatres across the country. This is a “must see” before we embark on our Greek Getaway! Set in the Greek Islands, the scenery is spectacular and it promises to set the stage beautifully for our upcoming trip to Greece (September 23 - October 4, 2008).

There are only a few spots left on our Greek Getaway, but not to worry, there is still time to earn those valuable pied piper credits by bringing a friend. If you have someone in mind, why not invite them to Mamma Mia? Nothing’s more fun than a girls night out!

Enjoy the movie together and share the joy of our upcoming trip, as you lose yourself in the spectacular views and lifestyles of the Greek Islands.

When your girlfriend books (and we’re sure they will) you will receive $100 off your trip to Greece. As an added bonus, simply send us the ticket stubs from Mamma Mia and we will be pleased to reimburse the cost of the show. (*Please note that this offer applies only to Pied Pipers and any friend who books a spot on our Greek Getaway.)

And that’s only the beginning of the fun you will have together! Get ready for your Greek adventure that promises to be our best trip ever!

I am certain you’ll find Mamma Mia exhilarating. The music and scenery are captivating and to be sure, it is the perfect way to lead up to our Greek Getaway. For sure we’ll have some ABBA CD’s playing on the coach! So ladies, mark the calendar and plan to hit the theatres after July 18 for Mamma Mia – I guarantee you’ll love it!

See you soon………..Susan
