Hey All,

I hear everyone talking about taking trips to South Africa or Kenya to build the communities and build new homes thesedays.  I would love to contribute, but I’ve got tons of obligations at home.  I just don’t have that time, and when I am “off” work, I do want to relax. But, I recently came upon this article in the Vancouver Sun newspaper about local celebrities hosting trips for charity.  I thought, what a great idea!  So I looked more into it.  There’s this volunteer committee that organizes these trips and they’re endorsed by local celebrities such as Chef John Bishop and Radio Personality Vicki Gabereau (she is actually a part of the committee).  So just so you guys know, there are ways you can contribute by just taking a trip with your kids, your parents, your friends and relaxing.  That’s why I wanted to spread the word.

One I am contemplating on going on is the Vicki Gabereau train journey, which also features John Bishop and Ron James.  It’s to Banff with 5 -star everything.  At first, I didn’t know who to call but I found out that Carlson Wagonlit Travel Kerrisdale helps organize it.  To save you guys time, here’s the phone: 604-264-0552 and email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).  Let me you if you’re interested too!  Oh by the way, part of the funds are going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.  Has anyone been on one of these yet?  It’s my first time, so I wonder how it is….. oh deadline is next Tuesday, so think fast!
