Tours de jour: RSVP showcase slated next week

December 30, 2010

Big Spring's Retired Senior Volunteer Program is giving people plenty of chances to get away from it all in the coming year.

RSVP's annual Travel Showcase, which offers a wide variety of tours, vacations and getaways to area residents, will be held at 2 p.m. next Thursday at the Dora Roberts Community Center.

The Travel Showcase is open to everyone, not just seniors, said Becky Letz of RSVP. “The more the merrier,” Letz said. “We've had seniors on these tours, we've had children … everyone is welcome.”

RSVP works with Bilbrey Tours of Abilene to offer the travel packages, which is a way for the local program to raise needed funds.

“We're a non-profit organization, so we can't do fundraisers per se,” Letz said. “But we receive 10 percent for every sale Bilbry makes through the showcase.”

Bilbry staff will be on hand next Thursday to outline the different travel packages.
