PREVIEW of some opportunities with
other clubs:
Hi!
From September 29 through October 14, 2020, I will serve as journey
coordinator for a FFI trip to
Bulgaria, Romania, and Moldovo. As this
is not a Dallas FF tour it will not be possible to have a
registration period exclusively for our club. Probably the tour will
be listed in the FFI catalog early next year. Consequently, this
advance notice is being provided. We anticipate spending time with
FF of Bucharest (Romania). Any member who is interested may contact
me for a copy of the itinerary.
