PLATINUM ADVENTURES® NEWSLETTER
SUMMER 2016
DAY TRIPS • EXTENDED TRIPS • SEMINARS • AND MORE!
A MESSAGE FROM
THE DIRECTOR
The weather’s starting to heat up and so are the adventures! The change in
season means new trips, day activities and seminars and we’re excited to share
them with you. We hope you’ll grab a friend and your date book and get some
great adventures on your schedule.
We want to make you aware of one change for the new quarter. Each
event will have member and non-member pricing. If you are a member
of the Platinum Adventures Club, you’ll qualify for the member rate.
If you are not a current member, it’s easy to join: you just need to be
50+ and have a current customer relationship. If you haven’t signed up
for the club, you’ll have to pay non-member pricing to participate in
the events, so stop into the bank and fill out and sign a membership
card today!
Now that summer is upon us, let’s take full advantage of it! We have planned
some great outdoor events: Grant Park Music Festival on July 8, Paddle Wheel
River Boat Cruise on July 20, a Luncheon Cruise on Lake Michigan on August
30, Royal Oaks Orchard on September 21, and a Tour of Geneva and Little
Traveler on October 5. We even still have some tickets for “Cirque du Soleil,”
so get them before they’re gone! We also have an informative selection of
seminars scheduled and Barbara Rinella on November 30. So much to do, so
little time!
Make your reservations early as events fill up quickly.

Pay close attention to the means of

of these day trips, or would like to RSVP,
contact your bank’s Platinum Adventures
director at the phone number or e-mail
listed in this newsletter.
You’ll have the unique opportunity to
explore the wonders we have nearby. We
carefully plan each of our day trips, events
