Have you ever wanted to
explore the ruins of Ireland? Or
go out for a night of drink
ing in Scottish pubs? Well now,
with the college’s History Travel
Club, you can.
The History Travel Club is
venturing on a 19-day trip to the
British Isles, scheduled for the
summer of 2007. The trip will
include Scotland, Ireland, Wales,
England and a possible seven-
day extension trip to France.
This will be the third over
seas adventure sponsored by the
History Travel Club. The first
was a Britannia tour, including
Ireland, Wales and Scotland. The
second was a little more on the
linguistically challenging side,
hitting Paris, London and Rome.
Currently sponsored by Go
Ahead Tours, the trip is tenta
tively priced at around $4,000,
which will include admissions,
hotel costs, transportation, break
fasts and some dinners. Lunches
and the rest of the dinners will be
up to the individual, to make for
a more personalized vacation.
Melissa O’Neil, the club
president, has several fundrais
ing ideas which she plans to
implement including an arts and
crafts booth to be set up just
outside the cafeteria in Bill Brod
Community Center.
The Easter Bunnies, as O’Neil
and her friends call themselves,
sell scented soaps and oils,
and will be selling homemade
Mother’s Day cards on May 10,
11 and 12. They are a highly
motivated club and have other
ideas for fundraising as well.
Femcare Nursery donated
sapling trees for the club’s tree
sale last Thursday and Friday,
and there are still more fundrais
ing groups in the making.
Fundraising covered around a
third of each student’s vacation
costs for the Paris, London and
Rome tour, according the club’s
Faculty Advisor Jackie Flowers.
This year, however, the amount
of fundraising money to go to
each student will be dictated by
how much effort they put into
helping earn money for die trip.
The History Travel Club is
open to all students who are
interested in going on the trip, or
who simply want to help out with
the fundraising effort. The trip is
open up until 60 days before the
scheduled departure date.
The club meets every
other Thursday at 3 p.m. in
McLoughlin 206. There are only
three remaining meetings for
this term, with potential sum
mer meetings pending. They will
meet on May 4, 18 and June 1.
For more information, feel
free to attend club meetings, or
contact Flowers at (503) 657-
6958 ext. 2345.
