Activities and Travel – Trips

Hi PSOP travelers.  If I haven’t met you yet, I’m Tammy, your new Group Travel Specialist.  I’ve spoken to many of you and have learned that there’s great excitement for trips to Hawaii, Ireland, Scotland, and other wonderful destinations.  I’ve also heard interest in river cruises and big cruises.  I’ve been gathering information speaking to multiple tour partners and have started to form preliminary outlines for several big trips.  Please drop in to see me if you’re at PSOP to let me know where you’d like to go! I’m typically here Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 9:00 to 2:00.  If you’re not able to see me in person, you are welcome to email me at tammy.call@swic.edu or give me a call at 618-234-4410, ext 7021. I’m excited to get to know you and to start traveling together!
