Cruisin’ for Solutions Update

We set sail on May 8th for 7 days of fun and education for volunteers, by volunteers. VolunteerFD.org’s second cruise is set to be a great learning experience focusing on the six core areas of running a volunteer fire department: Bylaws, Grants, Fund raising, SOGs/SOPs, Recruitment/Retention and Training.

Unfortunately, space is limited and this is your last chance to sign up. You MUST sign up before JANUARY 31st, 2005 in order to reserve your space. After that time, rooms cannot be guaranteed and may be at a substantially higher price.

To help you make your decision, I will provide a few of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Cruisin for Solutions

Q: How much is the cruise and what does it include?
A: The price is $749 per person and includes the cruise and conference fee. This price includes most meals, but does not include drinks and/or on shore excursions.

Q: Can I bring my spouse, family, friends, etc.
A: Of course! The fee is the same for each person added. Non-Firefighters are welcome to join us.

Q: What is the itinerary/schedule of classes?
A: The full itinerary is available at http://cruise.volunteerfd.org/itinerary.php

Q: How do I sign up?

Q: Is full payment due now?
A: No, full payment is not due at this date

Q: Can I sign up later?
A: Space is limited due to the nature of the cruise business. The price is guaranteed for any bookings made before January 31st. Be sure to sign up now to reserve your pace.

Q: Are there any group discounts available?
A: If you want to book 2 or more cabins, please contact me at jason@volunteerfd.org or 860.637.2389 to discuss.

I know firefighters love to wait until the last moment, but this is a case of he who hesitates is lost. Sign up before January 31st and we’ll see you there! ( http://cruise.volunteerfd.org )
