A MESSAGE FROM
THE DIRECTOR
The weather’s starting to heat up and so are the adventures! The change in
season means new trips, day activities and seminars and we’re excited to
share them with you. We hope you’ll grab a friend and your date book and
get some great adventures on your schedule.
We want to make you aware of one change for the new quarter. Each
event will have member and non-member pricing. If you are a member
of the Platinum Adventures Club, you’ll qualify for the member rate.
If you are not a current member, it’s easy to join: you just need to be
50+ and have a current customer relationship. If you haven’t signed
up for the club, you’ll have to pay non-member pricing to participate
in the events, so stop into the bank and fill out and sign a membership
card today!
I wanted to take the opportunity to let you know about our name change.
We have been “The Experience” a Platinum Adventures Club; we are now
“Platinum Adventures.” This is exciting news for us and we look forward to
continuing to provide you an exceptional experience on each and every
one of our specially planned day trips as well as the extended day trips
just for you! We will continue to offer interesting programs at our Monthly
Movie Meetings and it is always great to see you there. We truly appreciate
