OUR 16TH WEEKLY UPDATE REGARDING THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC AND AND SOME WONDERFUL, SOOTHING AND NOSTALGIC MUSIC FOR YOU TO ENJOY FROM THE AMERICAN MUSIC THEATER
FRIDAY, JUNE 26
FROM CHRIS KRARAS
PRESIDENT OF WHITE STAR TOURS
Dear Friends:
“TRAVEL NOT TO ESCAPE LIFE, BUT FOR LIFE NOT TO ESCAPE YOU!” I came upon this quote recently and I thought it was appropriate for all of you Group Leaders and Group Members who are part of our White Star Tours Traveling Family. Just consider that all the people who travel with you and with us have not had an opportunity to travel this year as of yet, and they are, consequently, missing so much that is critical for all of us. But, as I have been telling you over the last three or four weeks, it is now time to get “on the road again”. We, at White Star Tours are only two weeks away from sending our first tours to places throughout our country. This is very exciting for all of us in our office, and should be very exciting to all of you that are Group Leaders. We realize that there are certain parts of our country where there appears to be some “spiking” of positive test results. However, that is not keeping most of the states and most of the travel destinations from continuing to open up their arms and welcoming travel once again. Of course, we know that when we go on these trips during these times, we must keep our guard up and act responsibly and carefully. But, when we send any of our White Star Groups out on their trips, we have very specific guidelines that we send to you as the Group Leader to share with your Group Members to keep them as safe as possible, while still enjoying the beauty of travel.
Most of us remember the horrible experiences of September 11, 2001. That time, too, was very devastating and frightening to all of us throughout our country. Interestingly enough, it wasn’t too long after that terrible day when everyone decided that it was time to go out and start enjoying their lives once again and exploring their country in the world of travel. What became clear at that time and proved to be very true, is that there was no safer time to travel than after the disaster that occurred on 9/11. We truly believe that the same situation is facing us today, although the enemy is something completely different. But, the issue of taking every conceivable safety precaution and being sure that everyone is protected to the maximum, is exactly what is happening today. So, we urge you as Group Leaders to be as optimistic as we are here at White Star that we are going to be able to get our people out and “on the road again” and that they will be as safe and protected as humanly possible.
So, as I conclude this 16th Weekly Update, I want to again share with you a bit of entertainment for you to enjoy. This entertainment comes to us from the American Music Theatre in Lancaster, PA and features the actual sound recordings of fifteen of the most beautiful and nostalgic presentations from their show, “The Crooners”, that they did live in 2016. Please click here to enjoy this presentation. I hope you enjoy this little respite and allow this easy listening to bring a smile to your face.
SO, THAT IS MY MESSAGE FOR THIS WEEK, AND I HOPE THAT YOU ARE GETTING YOUR GROUPS READY TO START EXPLORING OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. AS ALWAYS, WE WISH YOU A WONDERFUL AND BLESSED WEEKEND AS WE CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT YOU STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY!
“TRAVEL – THE ONLY THING YOU CAN BUY THAT MAKES YOU RICH.”
