Park, KS � September 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / Travel
industry leader Global Connections
Inc. (GCI), travel club fulfillment and service provider of Global
Discovery Vacations, held a number of fundraising events to support
the victims of the recent flooding in Louisiana.
According
to VP/Resort Acquisitions Dave Dawson, �Since some of our offices and many
of our resorts are based in Florida, we are particularly sensitive to the
flood victims in nearby Louisiana. This is why we pitched in and pulled
together donations of non-perishable food items and clothing at our resorts
in this area. Guests and employees donated to the �care packages� which
were then distributed through the Red Cross to those in need.�

The
Florida employees also held a �fun�-raising event called �Louisiana Bingo.�
This group then held a 50/50 raffle and the winner donated her portion
back into the �pot� for distribution to the charitable cause. The funds
raised were contributed to The United Way with the designation that the
money sent would go to flood victims from Louisiana. GCI�s Corporate Headquarters
also enthusiastically participated with a successful fundraising raffle
in Kansas with all funds being donated to help Louisiana flood victims.
�We
are committed to giving back to our community in any way we can,� said
Dawson. �Whether it is cash, clothing, canned goods, blankets or whatever
makes sense, we�re glad to be sharing with our community.�
