STRAW POLL FOR ROCKY MOUNTAIN SINGLE PARENTS

Since my daughter, Monique, has moved to Colorado, she has met with several single parent groups and dozens of single parents. They have all expressed interest in a single parent get-away weekend. We would like some feedback from you as to what type of trip we should make it. The weekend will be held in either March or April (depending on cost). Would you be interested in attending:

1) a non-ski trip to Estes National Park,

2) a ski trip to a mountain resort, or

3) a non-ski trip to a mountain resort?

We would love to have your feedback as to what your recommendations are for a resort or anything else. Thank you!

ROCKING HORSE RESORT IN NY in NOV & SAN ANTONIO, TX in DEC.

Great news! We have five families going to the Rocking Horse Resort in NY (with two more that plan on signing up today) and four families going to San Antonio, TX (with two more that will sign up.)

FUTURE WEEKENDS

We have gotten a number of requests for another Beaches trip. We will definitely have one in August and have asked Beaches to provide us with dates. We should announce them by the end of the winter. Shortly thereafter we should announce our week long summer trips to Arizona & Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We have also gotten numerous requests for a trip to the UK and Walt Disney World. We heard you and they are on next year's schedule. The next weekend we will announce will be in Southern California, expect to hear from us soon. Happy Travels, GlobalBrenda P.S.
