OCTOBER 2018 Voice NIAGARA! IT S MORE THAN THE FALLS! This tour greatly exceeded the expectations of the 31 VIP guests, along with escorts Samantha Graue and Leann Dramstad, as they enjoyed a 5 day tour with the VIP Club and Trips in September. In addition to seeing and feeling the three waterfalls; American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls that comprise Niagara Falls (from many different views and different times of the days on both the American and Canadian side) they were kept very busy with the variety of the attractions in the Niagara and Toronto area. We have LOTS of amazing pictures and would like to share a few of our favorites. Thank you to the VIP members and guests who shared in this amazing trip and to our TRIPS guides - Brian Doughty and Benni Buss for another fabulous tour!
A special thank you to those of you that shared some of these amazing photos!
Pierre/Ft. Pierre The Niagara Falls VIP group recently returned from their six day tour. It looks like it was such a fun trip! VIP members Randy and Joy Yost were able to join the group and shared the following about their experiences. They were also generous enough to share some wonderful pictures of their visit with us! What a wonderful trip! Everything was so well planned. We saw so many things; history, amazing architecture, wonderful food (eating at the Anchor Bar where Buffalo wings originated, revolving restaurants in the CN Tower, and the Skylon Tower), beautiful scenery, the Falls are so unreal, pictures do not do it justice, you can feel the power when you re standing by, and to be able to see them on the United States side and the Canadian side was so awesome! The trip was AMAZING! I am so thankful we were able to go with the Trips group. What an awesome opportunity! Thank you, First National Bank, for making this trip possible!

Newell Who says September is too late in the summer for an Ice Cream Social? Not the 21 VIPs who gathered at the Blue Line Diner on September 13th for this annual event. In fact, it was such a beautiful sunny fall afternoon that we could have met outdoors, but chose to entertain our members in the west dining room. Club members ordered their favorite ice cream treat and a beverage and soon the buzz of friendly conversation filled the room. At the end of the afternoon we drew for the door prize which was a $30 gift card at the Conoco fuel station and convenience store. Gary Donahey was the lucky winner. We thank all of our VIPs who came out to enjoy the get-together!
