Trip

Are you willing to spend a little more for bus transportation for family trips than driving or flying? Planes are expensive to fly as a family, buses aren't comfortable and driving isn't fun. Do you think there is a market in bus transportation that offers a more comfortable ride for family trips at a slightly higher price. It is still cheaper than flying and slightly higher than driving if you are driving at least 8 hours or more. Do you think you might be interested in riding a bus that has plenty of leg room, comfortable seats, flat screen tv and a private compartment for family and friends to spend more quality time together compared to the stress of driving a car?

Any So IL church pastors be open to music/dancing fundraising ideas per needy family at a time + 4 fun trips? I've had the notion for few months & even spent time on it. I saw a movie in June called "on the Home Front" with Tatum O'Neal & loved the boogie woogie style music plus they had a dance hall, band playing great boogie-woogie music I realized I could probably find a band possible, find a facility but my problem would be selling the tickets. I've no money to pay anybody deposits or even get tickets printed up or for any type of advertising except for not great free advertising. Anyways I owe my landlord and I owe the Ameren CIPS. I'm very unhappy here in Carbondale, IL & my son & I want to relocate badly. My biggest hang-up with my great idea is selling the tickets. If I had a church to sponsor it (instead of I) & even collect the money; I figure they could get their congregation to buy/sell tickets for the good purpose (cause) which would be to help one needy family per fundraiser. I offer my help; my idea in exchange that you please grant me to be the 1st family to help.
