Since we have been doubly blessed with so many new members and so many of our trips are selling out in record time (the Gloucester Lobsterbake in under two hours!), our Club 50 Advisory Board had a great suggestion during our recent meeting: It’s a good time to explain how trip sign-ups work!

There are two ways to do it:

First-Day Sign-Up: This is your best bet. Each mailed flyer and eNewsletter includes the date of the first day of sign-up for a trip. The first day of sign-up is held in the Club 50 Department at the WSB Main Office, 60 Main Street, Watertown (unless otherwise noted), on a first-come, first-serve basis as soon as the bank opens at 8:30 a.m.

Prior to first-day sign-up: Any forms and payments mailed to Club 50 will be considered as of noon on the first day of sign-up and in the order in which they were received. Any forms/payments brought to the Club 50 office in person prior to the first day of sign-up will have the same consideration as mailed forms/payments. Club 50 is unable to take trip sign- ups over the phone. Additionally, as our flyers state, motorcoach seating will be assigned according to the date and time we receive your reservation (excluding accommodations for special needs).

This is for our day and overnight trips. For our longer trips, we usually mail and email an announcement about a special presentation and sign up. After the presentation is made (as was the case just this past Tuesday night for our Hawaiian Adventure), we will accept your reservation form and deposit on a first-come, first-serve basis.

If you have any questions about trip sign-ups, please let us know! We expect our next trip sign-up to be popular too: New York City! Last year’s surveys from our New York City overnight in the Times Square area (seeing Motown: The Musical Saturday and free time Sunday) included requests to do the 9/11 Museum, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty next time – so check out “Club 50 Opportunities” below for details on fulfilling your wishes!

And please see other areas of the eNewsletter for more about New York City ... as well as Hawaii!

We very recently learned that our Hawaiian Adventure will be just a little later than we thought: Norwegian Cruise Lines is dry-docking the Pride of America for February and most of March – so our March 2-12 trip will now be March 30-April 9, 2016.

 

At our special presentation and signup just this past Tuesday night, Ruth Rudnick from Travel Showcase offered the following incentive: $50 off the price of an excursion or free beverages on the cruise – and she is continuing that offer through July 25!
