            THE DIRECTOR
            The crisp, cool days and colorful leaves are reminders that fall is in the
            air. It’s the perfect time of year to enjoy what’s left of autumn and get in
            the holiday spirit with your Platinum Adventures friends! We have some
            great events planned for the next few months, including exciting day
            trips, educational seminars, and extended travel opportunities. Why not
            book your calendar now with interesting and fun experiences to look
            forward to?

            Since your safety is our utmost concern, we will be practicing protective
            measures at events. Face coverings will be used when required, and
            event attendees will need to sign a waiver. Also, please know all our
            extended trips include trip insurance, which can give you peace of mind
            in uncertain times.

            At the time of print, the extended trips, outings, and presentations in
            this newsletter are all scheduled to occur as planned. However, due to
            COVID-19 precautions, these events may need to be rescheduled or
            canceled. Please contact me with any questions you may have.

            I look forward to seeing you soon!
