Tip Money:

• Tips for this trip are $80 per traveler ($10 per person, per day), which is $1280 for our current group.
  • Tips are for our Tour Director, local guides, and bus drivers
• Our goal is to fundraise for this complete amount. We have successfully done this for all previous trips without asking students to sell anything!
• Major Fundraisers:
  • Across the Bay 10K (see info below)
  • Community Yard Sale
  • St. Michael’s Running Festival (May 2019)
• We can decide if we need to complete additional fundraisers in January.
