This week's newsletter from Gene

Several of our seniors requested I look into a cruise to Alaska this summer. They all received email information about it this past week, but there may be some who haven’t heard about it yet. It will be August 14-22, sailing from and returning to Seattle, and it is open to anyone who would like to go. Price, including air fare, will run between $1,600 and $2,400 dollars per person, depending upon the room type selected. There is some special pricing available by booking during February, so there is a $100.00 refundable deposit due by this next Sunday, February 22. This will allow us to get more exact pricing when we determine actual interest. So far the interest has been high and we should be able to get the 15+ people needed to make the trip. You may bring your deposit by the church office anytime this week, or just put it in an offering envelope this Sunday with your name and clearly marked “Alaska” to reserve your place. We will be on the Crown Princess of Princess Cruise Line. You can look up ship information online. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me at gene@hillcrestaustin.org.


We had a good group of seniors this past Saturday getting their computer questions answered. We will schedule another session and let you know. Thank you, Steve and Sheryl Southwell, for volunteering for this ministry. The Southwells not only want to help with computer issues, but are available to help you make decisions regarding your computers, phones, tablets, etc. There is no charge; they just want to make seniors’ lives easier and make sure they are not taken advantage of in any way. If you would like to contact them with questions, please let me know and I’ll put you in touch with them.
