Yes, you read it right, just $90 for eight days of bliss. This cost includes transportation, lodging, entrance fees to all attractions, and meals! You will be responsible for purchasing only one meal during the entire trip--dinner on Tuesday at Willow Grove Inn.
Since the History Club is contributing several hundreds of dollars towards the costs of this jaunt, History Club members who participated in the fundraising during the Fall of 1998 or before will have the first opportunity to reserve a space on the trip. There will be 12 seats on the "History Bus," and they will be filled by the first twelve people to pay a non-refundable deposit of $20. Make checks payable to "Phi Alpha Theta of UPJ" and bring them to Dr. Newman in Krebs 123.
History
Club Members may register beginning Wednesday,
January 27, at 8am
All
Other UPJ Students may register beginning Thursday,
January 28 at 8am
If the seats fill, there will be an "alternate" or "stand-by list," which will fill in vacancies on a first come-first serve basis. No deposit is required for "stand-by."
Remaining $70 (also non-refundable) must be paid by Wednesday, February 10.
If you fail to pay the remaining $70 by that date, you forfeit your spot on the trip and a "stand-by" will fill the spot. If no stand-bys are available, you will also forfeit your deposit. If your spot is filled, you will be refunded your deposit. If you pay the total amount, $90, and then decide to cancel, you will only receive a refund if a stand-by can take your place.

Dr. Paul Douglas Newman, Advisor
and trip coordinator.
