Mid-Valley Travel Club Schedule

Attendance at meetings of the Mid-Valley Travel Club, now averaging around 70, and ranging up to a record high of 130 in June 2010, reflects the quality of presentations offered by Club members, for which we are most grateful. The Mid-Valley Travel Club encourages new voices, of which there are no less than six this season; the other four are veterans of earlier years. If you are interested in a possible contribution to our next season (2012-2013), please use the form on our web site's home page or speak directly to Dick Groff, the incoming Program Chairman.

We continue to meet Salem area residents who are frequent travelers, yet are unaware of the Mid-Valley Travel Club, despite our 17 successful seasons since 1994 and publicity provided by the Salem Statesman Journal and the Salem Public Library's newsletter. If you have friends who travel, please direct them to the Club's comprehensive website http://www.midvalleytravelclub.org/
and PLEASE bring them along to meetings. Larger attendances encourage more lively discussions, from which both neophytes and experienced travelers can learn.
