Welcome to the Second March 2004 edition of the GO News
letter.
Tele-seminar is Today
Our next tele-seminar on travel protection is at 1PM EST on
Friday, March 26. We will talk about the right plan to
offer your group members, as well as about how to go about
offering this to protect yourself, as well as your
travelers. As a GO member, the seminar is free. However,
you must go to the GO web site to register, as space is
limited.
I’ve been out traveling this week, researching and meeting
folks for upcoming articles on Indiana and Ohio. Spent the
weekend in Cleveland, visiting the many museums at
University Circle and most of Sunday at the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame. Then Monday through Wednesday was driving
the length of Indiana, visiting the many attractions in
Indianapolis, as well as throughout the southern part of
the state. You’ll read all about what we found in Indiana
in the June issue of Leisure Group Travel and about Ohio in
the August issue. As we want the magazines to be about
you, we’d be interested in hearing from you about your
favorite spots in these states, as well as in New York and
Alabama. Just drop me a note.

This group travel event is being held in Pigeon Forge,
Tenn., on Apr. 4th-6th. It includes a marketplace trade
