We're Doing Good! We're excited about our Volunteer Mission to New Orleans. We extended the early bird deadline until MARCH 1 and save $200! We will be operating two tracks, a singles track and a family track. We can't think of a better way to bring people or a family together than to share an experience doing good.
- Vail Ski Trip
With close to 70 people, we have filled our Vail Ski Trip, but if you are in the area, let us know and maybe you can join us for an activity. We are there Mar. 7-14.
- DO GOOD ADVENTURES
Our new division focuses on volunteer trips, missions, and celebrating life cycle events through events and trips that do good. Our premiere program is the Caring Generations program for families, but we hope to get everyone involved with links and information on how you can do good in your daily life.

| March 20-27, 2010
Brazil is a wonderful place to soak in the sun and enjoy the beauty. Our one week trip to the South starts with 3 days on the water--sailing, rafting, cruising, enjoying it all. Then a drive to the mountains --where waterfalls and forests surround the countryside. Live on a working ranch, horsebackride from village to village, visiting gauchos along the way and partake in a family BBQ and dance. If you want an authentic Southern Brazil experience, this is it.
We can help you arrange a trip to Iguaçu Falls or Rio as an extension.

A fun and meaningful experience. Help in food pantries and rebuild homes sided by side with those who will be living in them. Meet authors and others who have made a difference in NOLA, as well as attend a gospel choir service on Sun and a Shabbat service on Fri. There's time to explore the French quarter, enjoy live music and much more. We know that a few days is hardly enough to make a difference in such a massive disaster, but our work will be twofold. Working hand in hand with the people we are helping- will give them a sense of support and hope for a seemingly never ending task. We also hope that this experience will encourage people to return home to tackle some of the community building issues that impacted the most while you are there.We will have a singles track and a family track Information here

| | | EAST AFRICA |  | A somewhat unconventional itinerary to explore the somewhat traditional landscape of Tanzania and its superb concentrations of diverse wildlife. Game viewing will be intertwined with opportunities to get out of the jeep, meet the tribes and people of this fantastic country, help in an orphanage, hike into glorious reflective craters, canoe at the base of Mount Meru and walk among giraffes where you are close enough to see their beautiful eye lashes as they gaze upon you.

EXPERIENCE INDIA ON AN EXOTIC ADVENTURE
April 8-22
A colleague is taking a small group to experience KUMBH MELA IN HARIDWAR INDIA. The Kumbh Mela is one of the most sacred days for Hindus to bathe at certain locations in the Ganges River.Tented cities are built along the river and pilgrims will arrive from all over India and the rest of the world. The Kumbh Mela, for the rest of us, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is a wonder to see this crowd of merchants and buyers, musicians and performers, and seekers and holy men dressed in every imaginable costume - from the finest clothes to the half or full naked "naga saddhus". As the sun rises on the Ganges this colorful ceremony is an exotic and unforgettable sight. In the evenings the ghats become breath takingly beautiful with thousands of marigolds and offerings floating in the waters of Ganges. The trip also includes a visit to India's first national park, Corbett Tiger Reserve, Taj Mahal and India's Ghost City. If you are interested in this unique trip, call or email us for more information. | | |
