Greetings from Lee and Shirley
 Lee and I wish to sincerely thank all our passengers, for supporting Tradewind Tours escorted schedule, for the past 31 years. Most of you are aware that we felt it was in our best interest, to move our escorted business to American Classic Tours,  The key to a successful bargain is timing. Tradewinds offers some tips from the experts on how to save big in a few key categories:  Lee and Shirley attend Seminars (photo above) and Trade Shows provided as members of Cruise Lines International and American Bus Association. This is a wonderful opportunity to network with other travel professionals and vendors.  Lee and Shirley were honored to have Carole Moeller selected as Nashville, Illinois' Woman of the Year Award for 2011. Carole is well known for all her charity work here in Washington County. She is always helping someone and works non stop with fundraising events to keep our local Theatre open as a safe place for our youth. Carole has been with Tradewinds for 20 years. Kudos to CAROLE. |
