Dear Friends,

I am pleased to announce to you that in the Autumn of 2012, there will be an opportunity for you to travel to Boston with us. The Autumn will offer an excellent time for us to take in the sights and sounds of one of America’s most historic cities. October 8 – 13 should place us there during the “color change” season.

Enclosed are the details of the travel experience, which will provide great food, excellent accommodation, a new motor coach, knowledgeable guides and the opportunity to experience this with friends and other members of our church. You are welcome to include your own friends and family members also.

Please read through the overview of the Boston Excursion. I think you will be very pleased with the arrangements and the pricing.

Secure your place early and there is an excellent bonus for you.

Hope you will travel with us!
