Hey,
You received my mail about my upcoming activities . BB Tours will be a fact starting January 2008. To make sure there will be no misunderstandings I shall explain how BB Tours will operate .
- There will be no changes for me right now because I’m already touring Bastogne every 1 weekend out of 2 ., since July 2007 .
I’m always very helpfull and ready to go out to tour for free .
The prices for gas are growing over my head so I had to make a decision …
- I started up BB Tours with a special purpose : To Keep History alive , and why not raise some funds for the good goal ?
I will keep my full-time job but simply start to charge for the tours. This way I keep my expenses paid .
- It will be a Non-Profit operation . This means All profits will be used for good purposes like monuments , veterans organisations , caretaking of memorialls , free dinners for vets visiting ETO battlefields ….. and much more …
- I shall not try to compete with the major companies who offer “original “tours and charge a lot of money …. . I just keep doing what I’m used to do . Which is exploring the battlefields and make the tourmembers relive history .
I go with mouth to mouth advertising . This way there will be a social selection and I will get to tour with people who actually DO care about history.
- As for now I can only offer Bastogne tours . The Northern Shoulder isn’t my cake yet .
- I hope this way I can contribute to keep history alive .
- I do not expect a big rush , but I prefer to mahe some bucks for the vets …
Best regards …
Reg
