Convention Tour Schedule Update

Among the off-site tours being offered during the Sturbridge convention are a bus tour to historic Boston and a bus tour to the mansions of Newport, Rhode Island.

But – whoops! – until recently, the departure times for each of these tours has been listed erroneously in the CORSA Communique and on the convention web site.  Happily, tour coordinator Kevin Gaudette noticed the error, and now the web site has been corrected and the July/August issue of the Communique will reflect the correct times. (The June issue of the CORSA Communique has already been printed and so it will show the incorrect times.)

If you have signed up for either the Boston tour or the Newport tour, or are planning to sign up for either of these tours, please be advised that the Boston tour departs the hotel at 8:45 AM, and the Newport tour departs the hotel at 8:00 AM.

The reason for these departure times is straightforward. The Boston tour is leaving at a time that will allow it to miss the morning rush-hour traffic into the city, and the Newport tour is leaving at a time that will allow for the extra travel time necessary to reach Newport.

You can see the complete convention schedule on the convention web site here.
