The cruise begins &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;April 26, 2009&lt;/span&gt; and a portion of the gross revenue generated will be used to further the charitable cause of the foundation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;color:#000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; color: black;&quot;&gt;Carnival Cruise Lines has requested our confirmed guest list by February 15th.  If you are planning to cruise in late April - early May, we&#39;d love for you to sail with us. Please reserve by Valentine&#39;s Day.  We believe you&#39;ll be glad you did and you&#39;ll always be a Ginger Creek Foundation hero or heroine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;As an added incentive to encourage interested persons to book this cruise right away, we’re entering each confirmed guest’s name in a drawing for a cabin fee refund,&quot; said Stephen Teeple, Ginger Creek Foundation’s Chairman.  &quot;The winning guest will receive a check at the welcome aboard &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;cocktail party&lt;/span&gt;.  Since &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;Carnival&lt;/span&gt; only allowed us to book 32 cabins at the reduced rate, the chances of winning are very good.  You aren’t likely to find a deal like this anywhere else,&quot; Teeple smiled.       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;We are so proud of our involvement with the Ginger Creek Foundation cruise,&quot; said Don Fuener, Vice President, of Planet Travel Holdings Inc. &quot;We and &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot;&gt;Carnival Cruise Lines&lt;/span&gt; are helping this small nonprofit organization, facing a very challenging economy, raise funds for their cause creatively.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cruise only fares start at $685.00 per person including all taxes and fees based on double occupancy.

Air is the one true necessity for most creatures great and small on this planet.  We are all affected by and connected by the wide-ruling air.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt; Ginger Creek Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity formed exclusively for educational, scientific, and charitable purposes.  Ginger Creek Foundation&#39;s purpose is to: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Support non-partisan research, education and informational activities to increase and diffuse public information about issues at the human/atmospheric interface; examples include, but are not limited to, radon, environmental tobacco smoke, indoor asthma triggers, air toxics; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Combat adverse health effects related to issues at the human/ atmospheric interface while promoting conservation of the world&#39;s cultural, historical, and natural resources; and &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Conduct charitable activities to demonstrate methods for controlling or minimizing issues potentially adverse to human health and safety arising at the human/ atmospheric interface.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:window.location = &#39;http://www.socialmarker.com/?link=&#39;+encodeURIComponent (location.href)+&#39;&amp;amp;title=&#39;+encodeURIComponent( document.title);&quot;&gt;&lt;img src= &quot;http://www.socialmarker.com/bookmark.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.socialmarker.com&quot;&gt;Social Bookmarking&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://ginger-creek-cruise-news.blogspot.com/2008/12/welcome-to-our-blog.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Don Fuener)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjICXikkW3xR9ixemIjYEemgiqiPNOF14woGkkBrijo72xND9vldOZfEUjlpZ_zpD-lECb1ACuvPKsAhyphenhyphenrwgO9ryYx8MwcgRtrCHbDhgXJdwDgXl-ZQ7Zz6DaqGfXfWlDUaduD5cM_ip8g/s72-c/ginger+creek+logo.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
