Dear
Dave,
Every natural
disaster that happens around the world makes
us appreciate our own good fortune. These
disasters that can affect thousands or
millions of people may also encourage many
of us to open our wallets (as we are able)
to give to the charities of our choice, to
alleviate the suffering of those affected.
I can imagine that many of our thoughts and
prayers are currently with the people of
Nepal, still reeling from the devastating
earthquake, aftershocks and avalanches.
In any
destination (vacation or otherwise), there
are people who are much less fortunate that
we are. Not surprisingly, all of our
clients contribute a lot to charities in
their local communities in Mexico and
Hawaii. Knowing this can make our mutual
clients feel even better about their
vacation spending, when they know that part
of their vacation money is going to do some
good for local people or environment. Enjoy
reading about these contributions about our
accounts that you may not have known about...
Happy selling!
Dave Emery
