hello FROM KRISTI
And
away we go! I can’t tell you how excited we are about this season, especially now that the borders will be open and our Canadian friends will be able to join us! I’ve spent the last week visiting with so many of you, from our volunteers who have made their way south to the activity directors we work with to the resort managers who we’ve been in contact with all summer long. There is one thing we all agree on, and that’s that this will be a wonderful season!
Sure, it will look a little different, but I think we all feel that different is better than not at all! As you get back into the swing of things, please remember that not everyone is at the same comfort level, when it comes to gatherings. Let’s be compassionate with those around us and be thankful that although things might be different than what we’re used to, it sure as heck beats shoveling snow! • We’re just connecting the dots,
Kristi

n 1987, Kristy Meyer’s parents gifted her a cruise as a high-schoolgraduation gift. The rest, as they say, is history. That initial cruise sparked a passion-a calling, really--setting her on a voyage as a dedicated travel agent. Fast forward to present day, “And now, here I am!” says Meyer as she leads the Travel by Welcome Home division of Welcome Home RGV.
