    It is with great pride and pleasure that we bring you the latest edition of The Traveler including your invitation to Spring Preview Day.  The date of June 8 just happens to coincide with Sports Leisure’s 45th anniversary.  We hope you will join us for the celebration!  RSVP required – read about it on page 1.

    New Vacations begin on page 11 featuring in-state trips to Mammoth, Mono Lake, Bodie and Hollywood, along with holiday adventures featuring Hearst Castle, Cambria, Solvang, Santa Barbara and The Ritz on Half Moon Bay.  Cruise fans will want to jump aboard the extremely well-priced repositioning cruise on Holland America’s Zaandam.  Our ever-popular Key West trip is also herein, heading out in January 2025.

    Looking for holiday season travel a bit farther from home?  Consider our annual journey to Thanksgiving in New York featuring two Broadway shows and the Radio City Rockettes Christmas Spectacular.  A more homespun holiday experience is yours in the Appalachian Mountains with visits to Asheville, Dollywood and Nashville.

    You’ll find pages of new Daycations with a spotlight on live theatre in the region through September.  We’re especially excited about a trip to Richmond focusing on the contribution of women during WWII.  All hail Rosie the Riveter!

  8. The Traveler - June 2025

    Dear Sports Leisure Travelers:

    Below is the latest edition of our newsletter, The Traveler.  Some readers of this newsletter attended our recent Spring/Holiday Preview Day at KVIE, where many of the new trips were rolled out.  I won't lie to you, some of the tour listed in this newsletter have very limited space left, in some cases only a couple of seats.  A couple sold out and are not listed.  Our office hours are 9am - 3:30pm, M-F, if you want you jump on a tour or tours now.  There are also a couple of new baseball day trips on the schedule, as almost all of the previously announced trips are sold out.  Mariea has also added a host of new day trips.

    Don't be afraid to put your name on a wait list if your requested trip is full.  History tells us about 2/3 of the people on a wait list get an opportunity to take the tour at some point.  

    There will be an "in between" informal newsletter at the end of July/first part of August.  The 2026 Tour Catalog will roll out at Tour Preview Day on Saturday, September 20th.

    Thank you for your support and referrals to friends and relatives.  We are extremely proud to be your hometown tour company, supporting things in the community that are important to all of us.  I was reminded, as the Loaves and Fishes man joyfully placed the donated diapers and pet food into his truck at Preview Day, that small groups of people, working together, can make a difference in the community.  Your, our travelers, have proved that over and over again.  The sales of tours are wonderful, but seeing all of you at events or on the road, watching you rise to support important causes, reminds me this company is a little different than the rest.

    Hope to see you on tour or on the radio (Saturdays at 11am) soon.
